If your child receives Free School Meals, Norfolk County Council have extended their Norfolk Cost of Living Support Scheme until March 2024. Part of this scheme targets support for students who are eligible for Free School Meals and will entitle students who receive Free School Meals to a food voucher once a month between April 2023 and March 2024. The voucher will be for the value of £15 except in July and August where the voucher will be for £30 and in December where the voucher will be for £45. If you need any further information about the vouchers, please contact our Business Manager via email: businessmanager@northgate.norfolk.sch.uk
Norfolk Assistance Scheme
Norfolk County Council have also asked us to highlight that there is also additional support that they can provide to families who are facing further hardship. This support can be accessed through the Norfolk Assistance Scheme (NAS), which may be able to provide support for fuel, food, clothes and other essential household items. Families can get in touch with NAS via their dedicated website which includes an online application form or they can be contacted through 0344 800 8020.
