Helping Hand available to those in need

Published: 29 October 2020

This autumn half term Bucks Council wants to ensure that families across Bucks, with children eligible for free school meals, know how to access the wide range of support that is available.

The programme is funded by joint support from the Government’s Hardship Fund provided to local councils over the summer and Buckinghamshire Council.

If anyone is worried about food over half term, and not sure what help is available, please contact the council’s ‘Helping Hand’ support line on 01296 395000.

The ‘Helping Hand’ team can help direct people to the support that is right for them. This may be from the voluntary or community sector or direct from the council.
