Thousands of families on the brink of financial crisis are set to receive a lifeline with £315 in supermarket vouchers. Customers of Lidl, Aldi, Sainsbury’s, Morrisons, Tesco and Asda will benefit from the government-extended Household Support Fund. Stockport Council is distributing the vouchers to families with children who are entitled to free school meals, families with children eligible for vouchers through Local Council Tax Support and/or Housing Benefit. The vouchers will be distributed by email or post and can be used to purchase essential items.
