Household Support Fund

The government has issued financial support called the Household Support Fund which has been made available locally through Surrey County Council and selected organisations, of which Age UK Surrey is one.

The fund is available to apply to until 30th September and gives direct financial support to pay gas, water and/or electricity bills potentially including arrears. The value of any individual funding award will be dependent upon individual circumstances.

Eligibility for the fund includes pensioners, families with children on low incomes and single householders on fixed incomes.

Age UK Surrey has an allocation, while funds last, to support eligible pensioners.

To find out if you are eligible and to receive support with applying Age UK Surrey is holding drop-in sessions:

15th September, 11am - 2pm
Esher Vintage Store
32 High Street, Esher, KT10 9RN (opposite Pizza Express)

16th September, 10am - 1pm
The Westway Community Café and Wellbeing Centre,
Chaldon Road, Caterham, CR3 5PG

Please bring your utility bill(s) with you and your estimated weekly income and household expenditure, for example, food/telephone/mortgage or rent.

Further drop-in sessions will be held in other locations during the month.
