We’re here to help unpaid carers, with free information, support, advice, contingency and emergency planning, resources and more.
Are you an unpaid carer who lives in Hampshire or supports/cares for someone in Hampshire? (excluding Southampton & Portsmouth)
If so, you can now apply for a supermarket voucher or a grant for essential household items from Round 7 of the Household Support Fund, even if you have applied previously from other rounds.
Please make contact with the Trust via your Carer Support Worker, Emergency Planning worker or the office on [email protected] or 01264 311680. Vouchers are available from most of the major named supermarkets or alternatively, you can request a household item via a grant.
You can also contact Carers Together but can only apply to one organisation per round.
Hampshire County Council has been provided with funding through the Crisis and Resilience Fund to support low-income households that rely on heating oil and are struggling with rising costs.
The purpose of the Heating Oil payment scheme is to provide emergency financial assistance to low-income households in Hampshire who rely on heating oil, are close to running out, and cannot afford the minimum delivery volume.
The purpose of the money is to help you pay for the rising cost of heating oil, not pay for all of it and a set payment of £300 will be made if you meet the eligibility criteria and can provide the required evidence. Eligible residents will receive a payment directly into their bank account.
For more information on eligibility criteria and how to apply, please follow the link below.
