Lincolnshire County Council has announced a support package of £2.7 million, intended to aid the county’s most vulnerable residents amidst increasing cost of living pressures. This initiative forms the latest chapter of the Household Support Fund, which has performed a vital role in providing financial aid to struggling families and individuals.
As residents throughout Lincolnshire continue to grapple with escalating energy bills and food costs, this fund will assist thousands of households with necessary expenses, ensuring that those hardest hit receive the essential financial aid required.
The recent incarnation of the Household Support Fund aided more than 18,700 Lincolnshire households, underscoring the critical need for continued support in the area. The Council remains dedicated to ensuring effective and targeted distribution of these funds to those in greatest need.
The Council urges eligible residents to apply for support and collaborates closely with local organisations and charities to optimise the reach and impact of this funding. The scheme aims to cover urgent expenses, providing much-needed relief during financially straining periods.
