ABOUT SUPPORTFUND
Making household finances easier to navigate.
SupportFund helps UK households find financial support, keep it organised and understand what to do next.
From benefits, grants and council schemes to bills, savings, jobs and everyday money tools, we're building one place to make household finances simpler.
Finding support is one thing. Knowing what to do next is another.
WHY SUPPORTFUND EXISTS
Household finances shouldn't be this complicated.
Finding financial help can mean searching government websites, council pages, charities, energy and water providers and dozens of different schemes.
Then there are applications to complete, bills to reduce, discounts to find, jobs to search and everyday household finances to manage.
The information and opportunities are out there.
The difficult part is finding what's relevant and knowing what to do next.
That's the problem SupportFund is built to make simpler.

SupportFund brings together practical ways to help households find support, take action and make their money go further.

USE PRACTICAL MONEY TOOLS
Understand your budget, everyday spending and financial support with simple free tools.
One place to find opportunities — and do something with them.
START WITH SUPPORT
Search more than just benefits.
The free Support Check asks a few simple questions about your household and looks across different types of financial support that could be worth exploring.
- Benefits
- Grants & funds
- Council support
- Energy help
- Water support
- Household support
Your results give you somewhere practical to start — and SupportFund helps you with what comes next.
Each scheme has its own eligibility rules. SupportFund identifies opportunities that may be relevant; the organisation responsible for each scheme makes the final eligibility decision.
YOUR SUPPORT, TOGETHER
Finding something is only the beginning.
A result isn't much use if it becomes another tab to close or another job to remember.
SupportFund helps you keep opportunities, applications, documents and important dates together so you can see what you've found and what to do next.
Find it. Save it. Act on it. Keep moving forward.
WHEN YOU'RE READY TO ACT

WHO WE ARE
Operated by SupportFund Ltd.
SupportFund is operated by SupportFund Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales.
Our team develops and operates the SupportFund platform, including the Support Check, support and application tools, household-money features, financial-support information and our Media & Research Centre.
Our focus is straightforward:
Build useful tools that make navigating household finances simpler.
CLEAR ABOUT WHAT WE ARE
Independent. Practical. Clear about our role.
SupportFund is an independent service. We are not a government department and we don't make official decisions about eligibility for benefits, grants, council schemes or other external support.
Where SupportFund identifies an opportunity, the organisation responsible for that support makes the final decision under its own rules.
Where we provide guidance or application help, our role is to help you understand and navigate the process — not to guarantee an outcome.
SupportFund is free to use.
OUR APPROACH
Useful information needs to be trustworthy.
Financial-support information changes.
Schemes open and close. Eligibility rules change. Funding becomes available and runs out. Different areas can offer different help.
We aim to make SupportFund information:
CLEAR
Written so people can understand it.
PRACTICAL
Focused on what someone can actually do next.
APPROPRIATELY QUALIFIED
Clear about the difference between something worth exploring and something you're confirmed to qualify for.
EVIDENCE-LED
Where we publish statistics or research, we aim to make the source, period and methodology clear.
Clear information. Reliable sources. No exaggerated claims.
BUILT FOR REAL LIFE
Financial help should be easier to use.
People shouldn't need to understand the welfare system, know the name of every grant or spend hours searching different websites before they know where to start.
SupportFund is designed around ordinary households using ordinary devices.
- PLAIN ENGLISH
- MOBILE-FIRST DESIGN
- CLEAR NEXT STEPS
- SIMPLE NAVIGATION
- SUPPORT KEPT TOGETHER
- FREE ACCESS
You shouldn't need to be an expert to find out what help is available.
WORKING WITH OTHERS
Helping more people find SupportFund.
We also work with organisations and creators that want to help more people discover useful financial support.
SupportFund Partner Programme

SupportFund Creator Programme

RESEARCH & MEDIA
Understanding the pressures facing UK households.
Our Media & Research Centre brings together household-finance data, regional insights, research and analysis covering financial support, benefits, bills and the cost of living.
We apply the same principle to our research as we do to the rest of SupportFund:
Clear sources. Clear time periods. Clear methodology.
