Discretionary Grants from the Household Support Fund

Suffolk County Council is pleased to confirm a discretionary grant is available to support low-income families over the February half term holiday. The grant will be issued as a £15 Edenred supermarket voucher for each eligible child and is designed to help families with their essential living costs during the half term.

What do I need to do?

The Free School Meals Team will email the primary contact we hold at each school with information which:

  • provides schools with a link to an online form to advise us how many Edenred vouchers the school requires. Please complete this online form by 1 February 2022.
  • explains that the school can place orders for vouchers on the Edenred system between 3 – 18 February 2022.
  • includes a letter to parents/carers which schools can distribute to eligible families explaining the grant to them.

Should you have any questions or discrepancies in your eligibility list, please contact the Free School Meals Team at [email protected].

We thank you for your continued support in helping us to distribute the Household Support Fund to help your low-income families.
