Support Finder

DISCLAIMER
Support Finder is an independent informational tool. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or representative of the UK Government, any government department, or any local authority. It does not provide government services, process applications, determine eligibility, or issue payments. Applications and final eligibility decisions are handled by the relevant official organizations.

Support Finder helps people in the UK explore public assistance and community support programs that may be relevant to their circumstances.

Answer a few questions about your work, housing, household, and support needs to discover programs you may wish to check. Your results are suggestions only. They are not an official eligibility decision and do not guarantee that you will receive support.
