The Winter Grant Scheme has been extended meaning that households in Hull that are most in need will benefit from further food and fuel support.

Families in Hull that live in an area of extreme fuel poverty and are medically vulnerable, are set to receive £50 towards the cost of energy, and families of children entitled to free school meals will continue to receive these through the summer half-term in May.

Hull schools will be open for vulnerable children and key worker children only, following the Government’s announcement that schools across the country will close to help prevent the spread of coronavirus.
