FOOD AND FUEL SUPPORT

Food and Fuel Support
• Leicestershire residents who need help with food and energy costs can apply for a new round of grants.
• Leicestershire County Council was awarded £7.2m earlier this year by the Department of Work and Pensions to help people who are struggling to pay their bills.
• Eligible households can apply now to receive an average of £200 in food and energy costs. The cash also meant that during October half term, a £15 food voucher was given to more than 14,000 children receiving free school meals.
• More information and the online application form for support can be found at
