Coronavirus Advice and Wellbeing
During this difficult time we wanted to reach out to let you know that we’re still here to support your child and your family in whatever way we can.
We have put together some resources to help you support your child. We hope you find this information helpful.
Please see documents below.
What other support is available to families suffering hardship this winter? This time of year can put extra pressure on household budgets, with increased heating bills and the pressure of Christmas looming large. As part of the government’s Winter Support Grant, Surrey County Council has made extra funding available to Surrey Crisis Fund. This money is there to act as a winter lifeline for those feeling that there is nowhere to turn when unexpected bills appear or essential household items break down. Families can access the Surrey Crisis Fund online, or families can ask at their local library or Citizens Advice Bureau.
