Wyre Council has received additional funding from the Department of Work and Pensions for the Household Support Fund (HSF). This fund is aimed at assisting households that are experiencing financial difficulties due to the increasing costs of living, such as bills for energy and water, food, and wider essentials. Eligibility for this support is not restricted to those receiving benefits, but it is intended for those who are encountering financial hardship.
Applications for support from Round 7 of the Household Support Fund are now open.
The HSF7 scheme will be available to eligible Wyre residents until 31 March 2026. Depending on demand the fund may close earlier, so it is encouraged that you seek support early.
Please review the Household Support Fund privacy notice to understand how we protect your data.
