 Who is this for?

This Focus Forum is intended for staff from organisations making use of the Household Support Fund to support vulnerable households in the region. It will also be of interest to any staff or volunteers working with beneficiaries of the Household Support Fund. We will be looking at past delivery and future delivery, as Wiltshire Council now knows that they are receiving funding to cover the 2025-2026 period as a 12-month award.
