This Focus Forum will be of interest to staff from organisations that have received, or are due to receive, funds from the fourth tranche of the Household Support Fund. It will provide an opportunity to share ideas and best practice for using the Fund, and raise the possibility of using it for local 'cash-first' schemes.
