Thousands of households have just TWO WEEKS left to apply for free £50 supermarket voucher – can you claim?
THOUSANDS of Brits have just two weeks left to apply for a £50 supermarket voucher to put towards buying food.
It's part of the Household Support Fund to help struggling families pay for essential costs this winter.
The £500million scheme is handed out to different councils across the UK, and they can then decide how to use the funds.
The cash is supposed to support households who are struggling to pay for food or bills.
The support that's available varies between councils, so you'll need to check with your local authority what help is available in the region you live in.
For example, Nottingham City Council is among the councils offering extra support to residents this winter.
You can apply for up to two £50 supermarket vouchers - but the deadline for one of them is this evening.
The other has a deadline of January 4, so there's still time to access help in the New Year.
To apply you should contact the council directly, and you'll need to input some details including your email address and mobile number,
You will also need to provide an address and a council tax reference number.
