Early day motion · EDM 101 · 2 Sep 2024

Household Support Fund

Tabled by Ayoub Khan (Independent) 8 signatures

The motion

That this House expresses deep concern that when the current Household Support Fund ends in September 2024, there are no current plans in place to address the substantial gap this will leave; notes that charities including the Trussell Trust are facing a hugely worrying cliff edge for many of the people they support with the end of the Fund; believes that the impact of ending the Fund will be felt particularly harshly in Birmingham, where the uncertain future of Birmingham City Council’s Contact Centre also hangs in the balance; and calls upon the Government to commit to a new long-term strategy for local crisis support, underpinned by a multi-year funding settlement that at least matches current annual investment in the Fund in England.
