Families across Trafford battling the cost of living crisis will have access to a greater range of support in the coming months. This is thanks to the launch of Trafford Housing Trust’s Winter Support Fund.
The £200,000 fund will be shared with a variety of organisations in Trafford’s voluntary sector as well as through the six Trafford community hubs. Residents will be able to access resources including food, energy top-up cards and cost-cutting goods, alongside other key areas of support. In particular, Trafford Housing Trust, part of L&Q, will work alongside the hubs and Trafford Living Rooms to ensure residents have access to free food and warm spaces.
Organisations in Trafford will use the funding so that as well as essential goods such as food and fuel, children and families can also access school uniform and winter clothing. Practical support will also be on offer to help manage financial pressures, maximise income and reduce costs.
