Harrow Council received further funding from the Conservative government’s Household Support Fund, which will help to Council to support low-income households with utility bills, food costs and essential goods.

Harrow has been given £1.47 million to allow the Council to further support those in our community who are most in need.

The extra funding will allow free school meals vouchers to be provided in the school holidays for low-income families.

Helping those most in need is a central mission for the Conservative leadership at Harrow Council. Therefore, we welcome this extra funding from central government.

Commenting, Cllr Stephen Greek, Cabinet Member for Performance, Communications & Customer Experience said:

This is welcome additional funding from the Government which will continue to help those most in need. 

We are using this funding to provide free school meal vouchers in the school holidays, advice and support through our Conversation Café, and more money to our care leavers as they transition to independence. There will also be emergency support available to those in financial hardship.

We encourage anyone struggling to look on our website which has comprehensive information on cost-of-living support or visit Greenhill Library for in-person assistance.
