Thousands of families in Sefton are set to receive a “lifeline” amid the cost of living crisis.
Meal vouchers worth £15 will be made available to 9,000 families in the borough eligible for free school meals this half term, as a senior councillor warned many are facing a “cost of surviving crisis” this winter.
Sefton Council’s cabinet member for communities and housing Cllr Trish Hardy said she families will be able to use the vouchers in supermarkets across Sefton to purchase food and essentials only and can also buy items online.
