Household Support Fund

The Household Support Fund (HSF) is funded by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP). 

Further funding has been allocated to Dorset for the financial year 2025-2026 and we will publish more information about this before 1 May 2025. In Dorset, the Household Support Fund is used to support the work of a range of services, charities, and community organisations across the county who are working with those most in need.
