Thousands of families can get up to £120 FREE cash – but you need to apply now

CASH-STRAPPED households struggling to make ends meet could get £120 FREE money to help with essential costs.

The Household Support Fund (HSF) is a government-run scheme that aims to help with bills throughout winter.

With just over two months left for the scheme to run, there’s still time to grab some free money to keep on top of rising bills.

As costs climb in the UK, many families are turning the heating off and making cut-backs on their food bills just to get by.

Food price reached 3.5% in December last year - the highest it’s been since spring 2020, and overall inflation has hit a 30 year high of 5.4%.

Families are set to be £1,700 a year worse off because of the cost of living crisis. 

It’s no wonder then, than many households are having to choose between heating or eating, as essential costs eat up far more of people’s wages than before.

So it's important to make use of any help available, including the Government's HSF scheme.

The scheme has a pot of £500million which is divided up and dished out to councils across England. 

Each local authority will get a different amount depending on the area size and need.
