Emergency support scheme

In Knowsley a number of local organisations can provide support to people who may be struggling to afford food for themselves or their families. This support is available in all areas of the borough and includes food pantries, social supermarkets and other community groups and organisations

The Household Support Fund is funded by the Government to help vulnerable households. Find out how it will be used.

Find out whether you are entitled to help from the Department of Work and Pensions (DWP).

If you are struggling with energy bills you can contact your supplier to arrange debt repayment plans, reduce payments, or get emergency credit. Find out more here.

The scheme may support you if you need furniture / white goods to help you settle back into the community under specific circumstances or to avoid having to enter institutional care.

If you think our decision to refuse emergency support is wrong you can ask for a review.
