UK households are being given £300 to spend at Tesco , Asda , Sainsbury’s , Aldi or Morrisons as well as Iceland, Lidl, Farmfoods or Waitrose. The Household Support Fund has been extended again for 2025, with more money being made available by local councils across various parts of the UK.

Because the scheme is ‘devolved’ to local areas, each authority has different rules and gives out different forms of help, though you don’t need to be on benefits to claim the fund. Surrey County Council has used DWP funding to launch its Everyday Essentials E-voucher scheme, which will enable residents to claim a voucher worth £200 to £300 to spend at all major supermarkets.
