Wychavon District Council has an exceptional hardship fund financed by UK central government. Anyone who is a working age Wychavon district resident and who is currently receiving Council Tax Support can apply for help.
The Exceptional Hardship Fund can provide help if:
- you need to adjust to short-term, one-off financial circumstances
- you are going through difficult one-off events that affect your finances
- you need help to prevent you from going through exceptional hardship
It should be understood that payments are discretionary and residents do not have a statutory right to a payment.
If you think that you may be eligible for help, you can apply online at:
https://www.wychavon.gov.uk/benefits-and-council-tax/benefits-advice/exceptional-hardship-fund
where full eligibility criteria are explained.
If you are planning to apply for financial help under this scheme, please let a member of Charlton Parish Council know in order that we can help support your application
