Household support fund

The Household Support Fund is now closed due to demand.

If further funding is available we will look to reopen applications in the new year.

If you have applied previously we will be in contact shortly.

If you have not heard from us after 28 days of your application, please email support@folkestone-hythe.gov.uk for an update.  Please can you include your council tax account number of your address details in your email.

If you have previously asked for or need help with Fuel/Energy costs, the Kent County Council "Winter Food and Energy Scheme" will be open from 12pm 9th January to 5th March 2025 or until all funds are allocated.

You can apply for this by the link below:

The scheme is run by Kent County Council and not Folkestone and Hythe District Council. If you have any queries please email kcc-hsffoodandenergysupport@kent.gov.uk

If you need regular support for food, please visit the council’s website which has details of where you can access further food resources.
