Hundreds of thousands of pounds have been made available for struggling families in Knowsley as the cost of living crisis begins to bite.
Knowsley Council announced it is ploughing over £400k into its “better together fund”, topping up nearly £1.9 million in support from the government to be spent over winter to help people struggling amid spiralling costs.
The council has now put over £3.4m into its hardship fund to support residents with school uniforms, the creation of warm hubs and housing support.
