Household Support Fund – Short Term Grant Funding for Affordable Warmth

Applications now open!

Funding from the Department of Work and Pensions (Household Support Fund) is being made available via Hull City Council and has kindly been supplemented by local company Ideal Heating.  This is being administered on their behalf by Forum CIO (an organisation that facilitates the voluntary and community sector in Yorkshire and the Humber). This will be a small short-term grant funding.

The purpose of the grants is to enable VCSE organisations to provide support to Hull residents to manage their household expenditure on energy, and cope with the cost of living. VCSE organisations are encouraged to provide Warm Spaces and activities that promote affordable warmth. 

Grants of between £1,000 – £7,500 are offered to voluntary and community organisations supporting local communities in the city of Hull: The maximum grant you can apply for depends on the type of project you will run.
