The DWP Household Support Fund was issued to unitary Councils in October 2021 to assist vulnerable households, with and without children, with food and fuel costs over the Winter months. One strand of the Isle of Wight project was to issue a £25 food voucher to Island residents in receipt of Local Council Tax Support.
Just under 10,400 vouchers were issued but our records show that a number are yet to be redeemed and we are trying to spread the word that help is available for those who have not yet completed the process.
