Central Beds Council: Increase in funding to feed vulnerable children this Christmas
Date Added: 08/12/2022
During the rising costs of living over the last year, we have used the Household Support Fund to provide food vouchers to families with children eligible for free school meals during every school holiday. Recognising the increasing pressure on vulnerable children as we enter the colder months, we have increased the value of this food voucher to £17.50 per child, per week over the Christmas school holiday period.
We have several initiatives to support vulnerable families with the cost of living either directly with food vouchers and help with other essential bills, or indirectly through funding for local foodbanks and support organisations like Citizen’s Advice.
