Household Support Fund has launched to support Croydon families
After receiving funding from government, the council has launched a fund to support residents who are struggling to buy food, heat their home or purchase essentials such as fridge/freezer, oven/microwave, a bed or bedding. The fund is open until 31 March 2022.
Croydon residents can refer themselves or a school can refer on a parent/carers’ behalf, with permission. Residents will be asked to demonstrate that they do not have funds to cover the items being requested and will need to evidence any income and provide a bank statement.
Full details and application form can be found at the link below. Applications for food/fuel will be processed within 48 hours and household items, within 4 weeks.
