A range of support is available
More than £11m is being given to Nottinghamshire County Council to help households get extra support this year as the cost of living crisis continues. In the fourth round of the Government’s Household Support Fund, the council has received £11.2 million to cover a full year of support to households from March 2023 to March 2024.
Of the funds received, £3.2 million will be shared among 19,000 households with children in receipt of free school meals, or with children five or under with an equivalent eligibility. A further £3.2 million will be distributed among 15,500 households where one or more person receives or is eligible for Pension Credit.Another £3.2 million will be shared among any other households struggling with rising costs, particularly those who may not be eligible for other government support.
Previous Household Support Funds have seen three sets of £5.6 million funds given to the county, each covering a six-month period. The third round ended on March 31, and had allowed the County Council to deliver a one-off winter support voucher payment worth around £100 for each eligible household. Councillor John Cottee, Cabinet Member for Communities, said: "We are delighted that the government has extended this funding which this time has been allocated for the whole year. This helps us to plan the fairest and most timely way to get the funds to those who need them the most and help ease their financial worries.
