Some more helpful advice...

Haringey Support Fund

We recognise that some residents are experiencing financial hardship. 

The Haringey Support Fund (HSF) is a scheme to help residents who: 

  • have a low income 
  • are facing unexpected costs 
  • need help to meet their immediate needs 
  • need help to pay for essential items that are difficult to budget for

The scheme gives one-off payments for: 

  • help with your basic living needs: 
    • items for day to day living such as food and essential household items 
    • utilities including gas and electricity reconnection 
    • help with essential clothing and footwear  
    • help with other basic living needs, such as support to pay broadband bills where there is an urgent need 
  • items to help you remain in your home or when moving into a new home like: 
    • essential household appliances like a fridge or washing machine  
    • bedding, mattresses and some types of furniture 
    • cooking equipment, or other essential kitchen items 

As we cannot know every challenge you may face, we accept applications for other essential support which cannot be budgeted for. 

Applications are considered on a case-by-case basis.
