Council chiefs are preparing around half a million pounds worth of relief measures to help Renfrewshire’s vulnerable during the cost-of-living crisis.
An extensive package of support — including winter clothing payments and plans to introduce warm spaces — has been put together and will be considered at a key summit on Wednesday.
A report to the Leadership Board confirmed £300,000 has been earmarked to deliver an additional £50 payment for each child who currently receives a school clothing grant, while £50,000 would go towards the creation of sites people can visit to heat up.
