Following lobbying from Alex and other Gloucestershire MPs, the Government has agreed to increase Gloucestershire's Household Support Fund by £7,384,966.
This additional funding takes the total invested into the Gloucestershire Household Support Fund to £18,462,416.
The Household Support Fund supports vulnerable families struggling to cover essential costs.
Cheltenham has also received £98.6m of Government support in Cost of Living and Energy Support Payments. This comes on top of over £380m during Covid (not including NHS funding).
