CHESHIRE East Council is offering supermarket vouchers for families in need over the half-term school break.

The council thanked everyone for their support the most vulnerable, and is urging anyone in crisis to contact its social care and early help teams.

Councillor Kathryn Flavell, Cheshire East Council cabinet member for children and families said: “Cheshire East Council is committed to helping our most vulnerable children and families, and we are always at the end of the phone for anyone who is in a crisis.

“Our children’s social care team and family support service continue to work tirelessly to support those who need our help during the current pandemic.

“We are fortunate to have fantastic communities in Cheshire East from businesses, schools, town and parish councils and the community, voluntary and faith sector who are all working with us to support the most vulnerable in our borough, and I thank them for all they are doing to respond to the recent government announcement regarding free school meals.

“If anyone finds themselves in a crisis over half term, we have arrangements in place to provide supermarket vouchers, so please contact our social care and early help teams either via your named support worker or by calling 0300 123 5012.”
