The Fund Purpose:
The United Kingdom Government has made an additional round of Household Support Fund funding available to the Lincolnshire County Council to support vulnerable households with the cost of everyday household essentials. The Lincolnshire Community Foundation are delivering the South Holland Household Support Fund on behalf of the South Holland District Council and households who are within significant financial hardship can apply to the fund to receive a supermarket voucher of their choice to help with the cost of food, clothing, and other household essentials. Please note the priority will be given to low-income households that are in the highest need of support (more details on the eligibility criteria and priority groups can be found outlined below).
