Crisis Fund
Central Bedfordshire have set up a Crisis Fund to support families with household bills and payments and other items which is administered through their nine Children's Centres - in Sandy, Shefford, Stotfold, Flitwick, Leighton Buzzard, with two in Dunstable and two in Houghton Regis - who already work with over 4,700 families.
What is the funding for?
Funding will be available with vouchers available to primarily cover household bills and payments.
Emergency support will also be available – for example, to replace an essential household appliance that’s broken, like a fridge or washing machine, or to ensure children in the household have winter weather clothing.
Who is eligible?
We’ll be using the funding to support families already known to the Children’s Centres who use our services. And our partners, including in health, housing and education, will be able to refer families in need for extra support.
