Holiday support and back to school essentials

Applications paused

Household Support Fund applications are paused due to the high volume we've received.

If you have submitted an application already, we will assess it within 2 months and contact you directly. To avoid delays in assessments, please be patient and we will contact you as soon as we can.

Applications will re-open Monday 6 January 2025

If your child gets free school meals, we'll be providing food vouchers during school holidays and support with back to school essentials in the summer. 

They will be issued by schools directly and you don't need to apply for them.

Contact

If you haven't received your holiday or back to school vouchers, please contact your school in the first instance. 

If your school states they haven't received a voucher for your child from the council, please email [email protected] with the name of your child and the school they attend. We will then investigate with our Free School Meals Team.

It is your responsibility to make ensure your school has your correct email address so they can send vouchers.
