The local authority has received funding of £6.8 million which they plan to distribute to the most vulnerable households within Leicester between June and February 2024. Applications are open for families to apply directly through the main city council website. Schools are able to act as professional referrers and can make a professional referral on a family's behalf. Full details on Household Support Funding can be found on the link below:
