Applying for Household Support Fund Community Grants
30/05/2024

We want to make groups aware that the latest round of Household Support Fund grants is now open. There are three themes for the funding, and info, guidance and the application form are all available here:
Applying for Household Support Fund community grants | Children and Families | Hampshire County Council (hants.gov.uk)
The three types of grant are:
- Community Grants ((£720,000) so that community organisations can support local initiatives tailored to local needs, as well as for organisations or professionals working with families by exception to apply for urgent crisis funding.
- Advice Grants (£125,000) to deliver advice on budgeting, finances, maximising income or accessing other help.
- Community pantries and food support schemes (£550,000) for funding that will help provide vulnerable households with food via Community Pantries, with their projects being implemented prior to the end of the grant period.
Applications for all the grants will be open from 20 May to 9th August 2024. They will be considered at regularly scheduled panel meetings. We’d suggest applications go in sooner rather than later though.
