The household support fund is vital for tens of thousands facing destitution, providing essential aid like cash, food parcels, and fuel vouchers.
If the fund ends, local crisis support will vanish for about 18 million people across numerous local authority areas in England.
Charities warn that the discontinuation of the fund would lead to a significant loss of support for struggling families, particularly in urban areas.
The government remains committed to supporting pensioners and reducing poverty, despite the challenges posed by its inherited public finances.
