Blackpool Council would receive almost £3.5m from the fourth tranche of the government’s Household Support Fund
Vouchers for free schools meals will continue to be handed out in Blackpool as part of government-backed measures to help residents cope with the cost of living crisis.The council has now agreed how the funding will be spent with the biggest chunk of £1.7m being used to extend free school meals. Eligible families will continue to receive support during school holidays using vouchers distributed by schools.
A cost of living grant funding scheme has also been developed aimed at helping voluntary community organisations to develop a range of support initiatives. A council report says these would include “a broad range of projects” such as warm hubs and activity hubs designed to offer a welcoming haven for residents struggling at home.
This latest round of funding takes the total level of support provided to Blackpool residents to £8,092,633.
