The council explained: "The Household Support Fund, provided by the Department for Work and Pensions, gives those who qualify, help towards food and essential items. Ealing has been allocated £2.6 million to support low-income families between now and the end of September 2024. It is anticipated that this will be the last phase of funding the council will receive.

"All payments will be made using supermarket vouchers provided by our partners Blackhawk. If you are eligible, you do not need to apply for the vouchers. Eligible families will receive either an email or letter from Blackhawk with a 16-digit, personalised code and instructions to redeem the vouchers via the Blackhawk website: ealingcouncil.select-your-reward.co.uk.

"Be assured, this is a safe website and Blackhawk are a trusted partner of Ealing Council." Families eligible for benefits related free school meals, based on low income, will get supermarket vouchers of £15 per child and £90 per child in May and July respectively.

Families with children under the age of five, who get housing benefit and/or council tax reduction will get May 2024 - £15 per household and July 2024 - £90 per household. Ealing care leavers will get supermarket vouchers: May 2024 - £100 per care leaver and July 2024 - £100 per care leaver.
