Support with Money, Debt & Mental Wellbeing

Household Support Fund (HSF) 2024/25 - Tranche 6

The Department for Work and Pensions has announced a further grant through the Household Support Fund, for the period October 2024 to March 2025. 

The Household Support Fund is a scheme funded by the UK government to help those most in need and to support with the increase in living costs.

We are waiting for guidance from Government on how the new funding can be used. We will update this page with more details on what is available and how you can apply.

Mental Wellbeing Hampshire is a partnership of organisations working to support good mental health and wellbeing in our communities.

There are benefits for everyone if we stay fit and healthy. Healthy people generally have a better quality of life, more independence, are able to make their own choices, and take an active part in their community.

Hampshire County Council's strategy outlines how we want to deliver improved health and wellbeing outcomes for everyone in Hampshire, driven by individual choice and with less dependency on health and social care provision.
