Household support fund

Household Support Fund launched in South and East Lincolnshire.

Following the successful delivery of the Household Support Funding earlier this year, where the Foundation distributed £59,500.00 to almost 300 households, we will be providing more vital funds across Boston Borough, East Lindsey & South Holland. Grants of up to £300 will be given to individuals and families, who have not received any cost of living support across the 3 districts. Funding originates from UK Government via the South and East Lincolnshire Councils Partnership’s Household Support Scheme.

We recognise there are still many households across these areas who are finding themselves in financial hardship or just about managing, but do not qualify for any other benefit or income support. Support will be given predominantly in the form of vouchers for food, energy (no cash grants are given).

Applications can be made via the Lincolnshire Community Foundation Website www.lincolnshirecf.co.uk from 24th July 2023 until 18th March 2024. If you do not have access to the website, please contact the Grants team on 01529 305825 or email katie@lincolnshirecf.co.uk

Katie Littlewood, Lincolnshire Community Foundation, Grants Manager for this fund says:

The Foundation has been invited to continue working with the South & East Lincolnshire Council’s Partnership to support people who haven’t been entitled to Government’s cost of living payments. We understand what a difficult time this is for many and will do what we can to help.

Roxanne Warrick, South and East Lincolnshire Councils Partnership, Strategic Lead, Prosperous Communities says:

We are pleased to continue working with Lincolnshire Community Foundation to support households across our communities.
