With an estimated cost of £5.6m, the vouchers – first introduced in the county during the Covid pandemic – are at the heart of wide-ranging proposals designed to support the most vulnerable in the county as the cost of living crisis continues.
Also included in the proposals is £1.5m to support unpaid carers on low incomes, £1.2m to support low income homes in crisis – whether that’s with food, energy or white goods – and £1.1m for food banks and energy support. And there could also be funding available to increase capacity at the county council’s Money Advice Unit and Citizen’s Advice – as well as signposting those who are ‘just about managing’ to available support.
However there were concerns expressed at what would happen next year , if the government did not make similar funding available.
