Wiltshire: Household Support Fund extended to help Wiltshire's most vulnerable until March 2026

Wiltshire Council has welcomed the UK Government's decision to extend the Household Support Fund (HSF) for another year, ensuring vital assistance continues for residents most in need. The seventh round of the fund, known as HSF7, will run from 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2026.

The Household Support Fund is designed to provide crisis support to households struggling with essential living costs, such as food and utility bills. It also offers preventative support, including budgeting and cookery classes, and the purchase of energy-efficient appliances like fridges and cookers.

Wiltshire: Residents encouraged to start their own care business with new support programme

In partnership with Community Catalysts, Wiltshire Council is supporting individuals who want to work for themselves and become their own boss by offering care and support services in their communities.

This could include helping people with:

• Getting out and about
• Companionship
• Running errands or doing odd jobs
• Organising daily tasks

...or setting up and running

• Fitness classes
• Creative sessions
• Social groups

People choose the hours they work, giving them the flexibility to fit their business around their life.

Wiltshire Council funds the initiative which provides access to a free development programme that includes training, marketing support, signposting to funding opportunities, and a chance to connect with others doing similar work.
