£13 million to support Norfolk households this winter
Provided by the Government, Norfolk County Council has received £13.4 million in funding from the Department for Work and Pensions as part of the Household Support Fund until 31 March 2024. This funding will help support a range of measures to meet the needs of vulnerable households.

Hot water bottles
Blankets
Toiletries To Go bags
Tricky Period bags

Mim Davies MP, Minister for Social Mobility, Youth and Progression said: “Our £842 million extension to the Household Support Fund this year is delivering vital support at a local level to some of the most vulnerable families in England. Whether it be repurposing white goods for households who don’t have the mans, providing free budget cooking classes or offering support for families struggling with their finances, this Household Support Fund Awareness Week and beyond, I encourage anyone struggling to get in touch with their local council to find out what support is available in their local area.”
