Household Support Fund

Funded by UK government logo

The 2025-2026 Sunderland City Council Household Support Fund ended on 31 March 2026. The fund provided over £4.7 million worth of support to more than 26,000 households through a range of delivery channels.

The council has developed the new Crisis and Resilience Fund to support low-income households - this fund is not a direct replacement for the Household Support Fund. For more information please see our Crisis and Resilience Fund page.
