The Household Support Fund (HSF) is now open for applications.
In Peterborough
If you are eligible for the HSF, you will receive a voucher up to the value of £25 for food or £50 towards home heating.
Information has been supplied by Citizens Advice Peterborough.
You can apply for support from the Household Support Fund if:

Someone will then give you a call within the next 10 working days. They will attempt to contact you twice and will assume you no longer need support if they are unable to reach you on either occasion.
Please submit only one application per household. Do not apply if you or another member of your household has already tried to apply as your additional applications will be declined.
