Support from community organisations

Support from Community Hubs and Hampshire Libraries

Hampshire Libraries offer a range of cost-of-living support, partly funded by a grant from the Household Support Fund.

Support currently on offer, includes:

• provision of free co-location points and community spaces and pro-active join-up of support systems
• delivery of cost-of-living linked community learning e.g. upskilling households through low-cost cooking sessions
• digital champions in libraries to support households at risk of digital exclusion
• signposting support to other relevant services
• ChatAbout groups for the elderly and infirm
• Warm Spaces
• Multiply numeracy workshops
• Period poverty stations in some libraries
• Warm and Welcome resources

Contact your local library for further information.

Until the end of March 2026, Hampshire County Council, in line with the DWP Household Support Fund grant criteria, will make available £500,000 in community grants to enable organisations to apply for funding to support vulnerable residents, through community-based projects.
