'We know that school holidays, in particular, are an expensive time for families and an extra pressure for those already struggling.'
Shropshire Council has been allocated £4.1 million from the Government’s £842 million national Household Support Fund grant scheme.
This grant runs from April 1, 2023 to March 31, 2024 and is funded by the Department for Work and Pensions. Shropshire Council has said the money will be used to help those most in need including families with a low income, people with disabilities, pensioners, care leavers, people with caring duties and those in need who may not be eligible for the other support that the Government has recently made available.
"We know that school holidays, in particular, are an expensive time for families and an extra pressure for those already struggling. We are really pleased that we will be able to continue to provide support with food costs to these households over Easter.”
