Oldham Parent Carer Forum, supported by POINT, have always been dedicated to supporting families across Oldham, ensuring they have access to the help and resources they need. Our commitment to families remains at the heart of everything we do, particularly during these challenging times.
In response to the ongoing cost of living crisis, we have previously been fortunate to receive funding from the Household Support Fund, allowing us to provide vital assistance to families struggling with financial pressures. We were awarded an additional £8,000 from the Household Fund 6 , enabling us to continue offering this essential support.
The Household Support Grant is designed specifically to assist families in Oldham who are facing financial difficulties. This funding ensures that families can access essential items such as food, clothing, and household necessities, helping to ease financial strain and improve their overall well-being.
Through this funding, we can continue making a meaningful difference, ensuring that families—especially those with children who have additional needs—receive the practical support they require. We understand that many parents are struggling to balance rising costs while ensuring their children have everything they need to feel safe, secure, and included in daily life.
By providing direct assistance through food and clothing vouchers, as well as essential household items, we aim to help families navigate these difficult times with dignity and reassurance. No parent should have to choose between heating their home and feeding their children, and through the Household Support Fund, we are working to ease that burden for as many families as possible.
