Household Support Fund

Funding is being made available to the Council through the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) to help households experiencing financial hardship.

Free school meals

The Council will provide £15 vouchers to continue the free school meals scheme through the summer (July and August) holidays. Please contact your children's school if you have any queries regarding this.

Support for pensioners

A £100 payment is being given to every pensioner who receives council tax benefit. Payment will be via Post Office vouchers and is expected mid-August.

Additional advice and support is available through the Bury Community Hubs, details can be found below.
