<p>We do not hold information on delivery of local welfare assistance schemes.</p><p>
</p><p>The reforms to the Social Fund in 2013 allowed local authorities in England
and the devolved administrations in Scotland and Wales to deliver their own local
provision for people who are in need of urgent help. We passed funding over to them
(from April 2013) on a non ring-fenced basis with no statutory duties or monitoring
requirements attached, giving maximum flexibility to deliver services as they see
fit according to local needs.</p>
