The SW9 Hardship Fund is a discretionary scheme for SW9 residents. It can provide a safety net in an emergency or after a disaster, provide assistance to enable independent living in the community, and can assist some families under exceptional pressure. It is intended to help with one-off needs rather than ongoing expenses.
Situations that may qualify for an SW9 Hardship Fund:
- you and your family are under exceptional pressure, for example, due to a relationship breakdown, a house fire or flooding
- you or a member of your family is returning to the community from formal care, for example, a care home, hospital or prison
- you're on a resettlement programme following homelessness or domestic violence
- your benefits are delayed and you need emergency supplies
- you have one-off travel expenses for certain journeys, for example, visiting someone in hospital.
