The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has announced an extension to a scheme that will help support vulnerable families across Greater Manchester.
The Household Support Fund will gain an additional £842 million in funding from April 1 which will target and support the most vulnerable households across England. The fund will be allocated by local authorities across the nation, including in many parts of the North West.
Money from the fund is intended to allow households to pay for their essential needs such as energy bills or groceries. The distribution of the funding is targeted at the areas of the country with the most vulnerable households.
