It's Household Support Fund Awareness Week - Please share to help those in need 📤🔗
Throughout this week we need your help to raise awareness of the available for those struggling in Wyre.
Since January 2022, we have awarded around £1.2million to our most vulnerable residents, helping those who have been worst affected by the increases in household energy prices and cost of living pressures and we want to make sure that everyone who needs support, knows how to get it 🤗

• you are responsible for the payment of the household energy bills in respect of your home; and
• you have less than £16,000 in savings; and
