Cost of living help worth £290 including cash payment and supermarket vouchers
Cambridgeshire County Council is awarding £180 worth of supermarket vouchers over the upcoming half terms and summer holiday, as well as a one-off payment of £110 Households are being urged to check if they're eligible for up to £290 worth of new cost of living help. The mixture of cash payments and supermarket vouchers is being issued as part of the latest round of the Household Support Fund scheme. The Household Support Fund is a pot of cash that is awarded to local councils by the central Government. It is down to each council to decide what support it offers - but normally they provide one-off payments, vouchers and help with bills. Cambridgeshire County Council is awarding £180 worth of supermarket vouchers over the upcoming half terms and summer holiday to families in Cambridgeshire that are normally in receipt of free school meals. Some vouchers have already been given out over Easter. Another payment of £110 is also being awarded to some Cambridgeshire households that have £16,000 or less in money, savings, and investments, and earn below the following thresholds: Single adult: £24,876 (no children) £30,465 (one child) £37,377 (two children) £48,735 (three or more children) Couple/Joint application: £34,494 (no children) £36,123 (one child) £42,418 (two children) £54,572 (three or more children) You may be offered a PayPoint voucher to redeem, a supermarket voucher, an energy voucher, or a direct bank transfer. You can apply through the Cambridgeshire County Council website. If you're not a resident of Cambridgeshire, it is worth contacting your local council to find out what help is available. For example, City of York Council is crediting £150 to your council tax account, as a direct discount off your bill. It is also providing a direct bank transfer worth £100. There is also a discretionary scheme, for people who are not identified by the council as receiving a council tax discount. For this, you would need to apply to the council and show that you're in need of financial assistance to help with the rising living costs. Wakefield Council has decided to offer supermarket vouchers worth up to £195 to households who are in receipt of Council Tax Support. If you live in a household with someone of pension age, but you won't receive the Winter Fuel Payment this year, then you will get £195 worth of vouchers. These will be split into two instalments, starting with a £70 voucher in June, then a £125 voucher in November. If you're in a pensioner household and you will get the Winter Fuel Payment this year, you will get £140 of vouchers. You will get £70 in June, then £70 again in November. If you're a family who is claiming Council Tax Support, you should have received a £40 voucher earlier this month. The council will then pay a £50 voucher in July, and another £50 in December. All other households in receipt of Council Tax Support will get a £70 voucher in July, then another £70 in December.

Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 5 Households would be able to get support as part of the governments Household Support Fund Credit: Getty 5 Those facing immediate financial hardship can apply for cost of living cash worth £175 Credit: Getty The scheme has been drawn up to help with the rising cost of living crisis and support those in the UK that are most in need. Although the government states that the money given is not charity, those who apply do not need to pay anything back. It's a central pot of money worth £742million that is shared between local authorities, who then decide who to offer the help to. Every council has been given a different amount of money to share between their residents in need. Which means that the amount you can get and how the money will be distributed will vary depending on where you live. For Cambridge County council, the support aims to help those going through immediate financial hardship. According to the website, it will come in the form of financial vouchers or cash payments. These aim to assist those that specifically need help covering the cost of food and household energy bills. As part of this, the Holiday Voucher Scheme offers households supermarket vouchers to those that receive Free School Meals. During the school holidays, every week vouchers worth £15 will be issued for each child who is eligible. Support Fund Boost: Up to £500 Grants for Struggling Households Between now and 31 March 2026, there are generally eleven weeks of school holidays.

Household Support Fund explained Sun Savers Editor Lana Clements explains what you need to know about the Household Support Fund. If you're battling to afford energy and water bills, food or other essential items and services, the Household Support Fund can act as a vital lifeline. The financial support is a little-known way for struggling families to get extra help with the cost of living. Every council in England has been given a share of £421million cash by the government to distribute to local low income households. Each local authority chooses how to pass on the support. Some offer vouchers whereas others give direct cash payments. In many instances, the value of support is worth hundreds of pounds to individual families. Just as the support varies between councils, so does the criteria for qualifying. Many councils offer the help to households on selected benefits or they may base help on the level of household income. The key is to get in touch with your local authority to see exactly what support is on offer. And don't delay, the scheme has been extended until April 2025 but your council may dish out their share of the Household Support Fund before this date. Once the cash is gone, you may find they cannot provide any extra help so it's crucial you apply as soon as possible. 5 Those on free school meals in Cambridge are able to get a payment of £15 per week as part of the Holiday Voucher Scheme Credit: PA 5 In between April and May there is generally eleven weeks of holidays Credit: Alamy 5 Meaning the total payment could amount to £275 Credit: Getty Do you have a money problem that needs sorting?
