Hart District Council is encouraging families in Fleet, Hampshire, to use its Cost of Living Support Hub for help with rising bills and essential costs before the Household Support Fund (HSF) ends on 31 March 2026. The initiative aims to help households manage high energy and food costs by connecting them with local and national resources.
The Hart District Council Cost of Living Support Hub provides a single place for residents to find food vouchers, advice on paying bills (including energy and water where eligible under the HSF), and referrals to local charities and partner organisations. Residents can access this information online or get face-to-face advice at the Fleet Civic Offices on Harlington Way.
Local organisations such as Fleet Phoenix are providing hygiene parcels and store-cupboard food to those in need. This local support complements the national Household Support Fund, which is scheduled to run until 31 March 2026.
Councillor David Neighbour, Leader of Hart District Council, said: “We know that times continue to be hard in this ongoing cost of living crisis… our community groups do a huge amount to help families and individuals and this latest funding will provide much-needed support.” People can also visit Welcome Spaces at The Harlington for a warm place to be and for signposting or co-located services — for example, debt-management and benefits checks provided by partners such as Citizens Advice Hart through the Hub network.
Residents seeking the latest details on available vouchers, eligibility and face-to-face appointment availability are advised to check the Hart District Council Cost of Living Support Hub or contact the Fleet Civic Offices directly to confirm current stock and services.
