The government has awarded money to Hillingdon Council as part of the COVID Winter Grant Scheme to provide support to anyone with children eligible for benefits-related free school meals.
In most cases Hillingdon Council have the contact details / email address for eligible families and therefore will be making payments direct to families in the form of supermarket vouchers (for the two-week school break). They are also inviting families to apply for a payment towards the cost of their utility bills. Hillingdon are working to make the payments for food by Monday 21 December.
If you think you may be entitled to a payment and you haven't heard from the council by Monday 21 December, please complete the online form below.
