Household Support Fund

The government has created a Household Support Fund to help people who are struggling to stay on top of the bills. You may be able to claim support to help with essentials, such as utilities, through the Household Support Fund. Citizens Advice (for adults aged 18 to pensionable age) and  Age UK (adults above pensionable age) are administering the fund on behalf of Peterborough City Council and can guide you through the process. Check the website of your local council for information about how to access the fund in other areas.
