Council Tax Discretionary Hardship Fund
Haringey Council recently launched a Council Tax Discretionary Hardship Fund to assist residents with council tax bills.
Haringey Council launched a new Council Tax Discretionary Hardship Fund in December 2025, aiming to provide financial assistance to residents struggling with their council tax bills. Councillor Seema Chandwani, Cabinet Member for Resident Services & Tackling Inequality, approved the fund to support those facing financial hardship due to the rising cost of living.
A report to the council stated that the rising cost of living was placing many residents under financial strain, impacting council tax collection rates. The fund was established with an initial allocation of £66,000 to offer targeted support to those most in need.
