As the cost of living continues to squeeze household budgets, thousands of North Yorkshire residents are set to receive new financial help through supermarket vouchers worth £190. The payments form part of the Department for Work and Pensions' (DWP) Household Support Fund, designed to provide emergency assistance for food and energy costs.
The scheme offers one-off electronic vouchers that can be redeemed at major supermarkets, aiming to reach those most at risk of financial hardship. Officials say the support should ease pressure on families ahead of winter, although local leaders acknowledge demand continues to rise.
