Our Emergency Essentials programme supports individual children and young people living with severe poverty, a lack of the basic facilities which most of us take for granted and additional pressures such as domestic violence, disability or poor health in the family.
If you claim certain benefits or tax credits, you may be eligible for an extra payment to help with the cost of living. If you’re eligible, payments will be made automatically. Find out more.
The payments are part of the government’s Household Support Fund, designed to help vulnerable people pay for food, clothing or other household bills. Households can apply for Tesco vouchers.
