Winter support fund for children and families
Funding to help people pay for food, heating, warm clothing and shelter during the winter is part of a new £100m support package from the Scottish Government.
The fund will help those on low incomes, children and people at risk of homelessness or social isolation cope with winter weather and the economic impact of coronavirus and Brexit. The Winter Plan for Social Protection will also address domestic abuse and digital exclusion.
