The South Holland Household Support Fund Application Form

The Fund Purpose

The United Kingdom Government has made an additional round of the Household Support Fund available to the Lincolnshire County Council to support vulnerable households with the cost(s) 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 that are in significant financial hardship can apply to the fund to receive an supermarket voucher of their choice to help with the cost of food, clothing, and other household essentials. But please note that priority will be given to low-income households that are in the highest need of support; more details on the fund's eligibility criteria and priority groups can be found outlined below.

The Application Form

Applications to the South Holland Household Support Fund are submitted through our dedicated grants platform which is operated securely and confidentially by Plinth. In order for you to submit an application form you are required to create an account with Plinth; this only needs to be done once and the only information required to create an account is your full name, email address and a secure password of your choice. Where you are unable to create an account with Plinth or you are unable to submit an application form through Plinth a member of the Lincolnshire Community Foundation's dedicated Household Support Fund Team will be able to help you. Please note that once you have submitted an application it will be individually reviewed and assessed against the eligibility and priority group criteria for the fund and you will be notified of the outcome of it within three weeks of the application being submitted; also please note that it could then take a further two weeks for you to receive the supermarket voucher if you are successful with the application.
