Families can get thousands of pounds in free cash for Christmas


Grants and charities are out there to lend a helping hand to those struggling this Christmas

If you're struggling with essential living costs, your local council may be able to help through a scheme known as the Household Support Fund (HSF). The charity advises applicants to provide as much detail as possible about the type of break your family would like and how it will benefit the child or young person you're applying for. Numerous local schools, councils, and churches operate programmes to assist disadvantaged families over Christmas, so it's worth seeing what's available in your vicinity.
