Covid-19 support fund will help hard pressed Wandsworth families through the winter months

Councillors are set to endorse details of a fresh round of targeted cash support for hard pressed families in Wandsworth through the winter months with the addition of a new Covid-19 support fund.

Tomorrow’s (Thursday) meeting of the town hall’s finance committee will be given details of an additional £836,000 that has been set aside to help support vulnerable families and individuals this winter.

The lion’s share of the cash will be used to provide assistance with food, energy and water bills, while around 20 per cent will help pay for other essentials like sanitary products, warm clothing, soap, blankets, boiler service/repair and the purchase of crucial household appliances like fridges and ovens.
