Thousands of people across the UK will be given a helping hand with their finances this week - in the form of a £200 payment directly into their bank account.
The cash is being given out to struggling households by local councils in a bid to help with energy bills. The Household Support Fund was set up as a result of the cost of living crisis.
Families are struggling with soaring food costs, high energy bills, rising National Insurance contributions and council tax bills, as well as rocketing prices in subscription services like Netflix and phone contracts. One local authority poised to drop the cash this week is Doncaster.
