What is this for?

The Government has provided further Household Support Funding to Local Authorities for the period 1 April 2023 to 31 March 2024 to support those households most in need with the significant increase in the cost of living.

Who is eligible for a payment?

The City of Doncaster Council has decided to provide help towards food by paying a total of

• £30.00 per eligible child for the Easter school holiday period. 
• £15.00 per eligible child for the May school holiday period.
• £90.00 per eligible child for the Summer school holiday period.

It is available to households who receive any of the following;

• Housing Benefit,
• Local Council Tax Reduction,
• Universal Credit which includes the housing element or
• Means-tested free school meals. 

This payment replaces the previous arrangement where schools issued vouchers for children.   

The payment will be made to each eligible child in the household regardless of their age.

To be eligible for a payment for food for a child;

• they must be a dependant child who lives with you as their main carer, and
• you would normally be receiving Child Benefit or the child element of Universal Credit for them.  If someone else receives Child Benefit or the child element of Universal Credit for them, you are not eligible for a food payment for them.

Households who received a payment for food under the previous Household Support Fund (October 2022 to March 2023) and who still meet the above criteria,  automatically get these payments and do not need to apply.  Payment will be made directly into your bank account using the information you previously provided.

Payment for Easter food was made by 14/04/23
Payment for May food will be made by 02/06/23
Payment for summer food will be made by 04/08/23

If you did not receive a payment under the previous Household Support Fund and you meet the above criteria you will have to submit an application.  Applications for help towards food will close on 29 September 2023 at 5pm.  Applications may close earlier if the funding is spent.

What is it going to cost?

Free.

What we need from you

If you satisfy the above criteria and you received a payment under the previous Household Support Fund you will automatically get this payment and will not need to apply.
