May half term holiday supermarket vouchers
The UK Government is continuing to provide food support during the May half term holiday under the Household Support Fund.
BCP Council Family Information Service can provide a £15 supermarket food voucher for eligible pre-school age children living in Bournemouth, Christchurch or Poole.
To be eligible for a voucher, children must be aged 0 to five, have not yet started school, live in Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole and currently meet at least one of the following criteria:
* your child is attending and receiving two year-old funding
under the receiving certain benefits criteria at an early years setting in Bournemouth, Christchurch or Poole in the summer term.
* your child is getting three and four year old funding at an early years setting in Bournemouth, Christchurch or Poole in the summer term and currently in receipt of Early Years Pupil Premium funding.
Please note:
this is not the early education funding to which all three and four year olds are entitled and there are certain criteria which you will need meet.
* currently open to social care and/or early help and of pre-school age.
The application form is now open from today, Thursday 16 May, and closes at 11pm on Sunday 2 June 2024. Apply via the link below.
If you received food vouchers for the Easter holiday and have not received an email advising that you are still eligible, please contact the Family Information Service on 01202 093131 to discuss, rather than complete the application form. It may mean that your child is no longer eligible under that criteria, and the team will advise of alternative solutions / actions.
Vouchers for school aged children will be issued directly by the school.
