Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many unpaid carers have received support from the Household Support Fund since its launch.

We do not collect this information. The published management information for the Household Support Fund covering the period 6 October 2021 to 31 March 2022 reports total grant allocation and spend, number of awards and the percentage spent on families with children, which relates to the condition that at least 50% of that grant be spent on families with children.

Household Support Fund management information: 6 October 2021 to 31 March 2022 - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)

Management information for subsequent schemes will be published in due course.
