Decision on local government reorganisation

The Government has confirmed that Surrey will move to a two-unitary council model following its review of local government arrangements. Read our full story and future steps.

Household Support Fund

What you need to know

The latest and seventh round of Household Support Funding has been announced. It runs between 1 April 2025 and 31 March 2026.

The amount allocated from The Department of Work and Pensions to Surrey was £9. 3m which was a 12% reduction on previous rounds. Surrey County Council will allocate the funding to schemes and organisations that help those families who are struggling financially in Surrey.

We will no longer be operating a local Household Support Fund application-based scheme for our residents. Guildford households will need to apply to Surrey County Council. 

Please note:

The Everyday Essentials E-Voucher is now closed, as we have reached our quota for this month. The voucher scheme will re-open in early November.

Further information is available on the Surrey County Council Household Support Fund website (opens new window).
