It has been agreed that over the Winter Period, families across Stockport will receive support from the Council for the cost of their food and utility bills this Christmas.

Those, who are eligible for income-based Free School Meals, will receive a £30 voucher, (£15 per week) per eligible child to help with the costs of food, utilities and other essentials this winter. A second payment will follow in the New Year.

Eligible families do not need to apply. The Council is working with Stockport schools and colleges to identify the vulnerable families in need of support and will issue vouchers directly.  The vouchers will be sent directly to families in the coming weeks via email. Those families without email access will receive their vouchers by post.
