UK grants, hardship support and money guidance

Clear information about the help available if money is tight — what each scheme actually pays, who can apply, and whether it still exists. Every page shows the official source and the date we last checked it.

UK support schemes change often, and a lot of what is published about them is out of date. The Household Support Fund, for example, ended in March 2026, but pages telling people to apply for it are still online. We check every scheme against its primary source and say plainly when one has closed.
