“The 51³Ô¹ÏÃâ·ÑApp and Bute Flexible Food Fund has already helped 1,470 families to access an average of £1,435 per household, so I would strongly urge people to find out if they’re eligible and apply today if they are struggling for money to cover food and fuel cost. Even if you are in employment, you may still be eligible.â€
