Apply for the Household Support Fund

Due to an unprecedented demand for the West Berkshire Council Household Support Fund, all grant funding has been committed and we are currently closed to applications, awaiting further information around additional funding from DWP.

We will resume taking applications when the next round of funding from central government is received, along with its guidance.

We anticipate the HSF will be open again for applications in the coming weeks.

In the interim, we can make referrals for the following services for support:
West Berkshire Foodbank (food and basic household items)
Community Furniture Project (assistance with white goods)
Centre for Sustainable Energy (assistance for energy bills)
Cowshed (for clothing)

If any of the methods of support would be beneficial for you, please contact the Household Support Fund by email at HSF@westberks.gov.uk for a referral.
