Local Discretionary Social Fund
The Local Discretionary Social Fund can help people who find themselves in a difficult situation and need emergency help:
- to get food & groceries
- with gas and electricity payments
- with other items you might need in an emergency
To qualify for emergency help you will need to show something unexpected has happened which meant you couldn't get this yourself.
Essential items
The scheme may also be able to help with essential items for your home such as:
- beds
- cookers
- items to help you cook
- other essential items you might need to live in your home
To get help with essential items you will need to show you or your family may not be able to cope without them.
