Households in Medway struggling to meet the cost of living can claim a share of £4m.

The cash is from the Household Support Fund, introduced in October 2021, which the government has decided to extend for another year.

The money is shared out to local authorities to allocate, with Medway having £3,987,524 for the coming financial year.

Medway Council also said it would be giving free school meal vouchers to eligible families throughout the summer holidays.

Council leader Vince Maple said: “The Household Support Fund provides support to some of Medway’s most vulnerable residents.

“We know there are more than 12,500 children in Medway who are eligible for free school meals and being able to ensure that they and their families continue to receive that support is incredibly important to us as a council.”

Anyone who may be eligible can find out more and apply here.
