Household grants for people in County Durham

Household Support Grants are available to people in the Durham County Council area, who are in need. This project will run to the end of September 2024.

The grants are for households in the area served by Durham County Council and the applicant must be a member of a household where an individual is undergoing, or has undergone, some legal restriction of their liberty as a consequence of offending. This includes immediate family members. The restriction of liberty includes imprisonment and subsequent licence, suspended and community sentences and is available for as long as the sentence/licence lasts.

Grants of up to £150 aim to support families to cope with the cost of living and can be provided for food, energy, white goods, essential furniture, clothing, school uniform, transport costs or other essential items. Larger grants will only be considered in very exceptional circumstances and consideration is always given to special cases of extreme need.

All applications must be submitted by a Nepacs staff member on behalf of an applicant.
