KCC Household Support Fund

Funded by the Department for Work and Pensions on behalf of the UK government, the Household Support Fund scheme supports vulnerable Kent households in need of help with significantly rising living costs.

The summer food voucher scheme, worth £90 to eligible households, will stay open until the end of August (the scheme may close earlier if all available funds are allocated).

You can either refer yourself to the scheme or refer someone as a professional.

The summer scheme will only offer support with food. A winter scheme will follow later in the year offering a choice between energy and food, or a combination of both energy and food support.
