We have received funding from the UK Government's Household Support Fund.

This funding will be used to support our residents in the following ways until 30 September 2024:

Hardship payments for residents in significant financial difficulty.

This element of the scheme is currently closed and will reopen for referrals in early summer 2024.

Funding will also be used to support local cost of living and discretionary schemes being delivered by Newcastle City Council.
