Cheshire East Council Emergency AssistanCE Scheme Review 2021

In 2013 the council introduced its Emergency AssistanCE scheme. The scheme is designed to support vulnerable people facing immediate hardship, to prevent homelessness, and to keep families together. The scheme provides rent deposits, furniture, white goods and emergency food to help those in need.

Full details on the current scheme can be found at www.cheshireeast.gov.uk/emergencyassistance.

To ensure the scheme is meeting need and providing value for money a review of it is being undertaken by the Benefits Team and the council’s Corporate Policy Committee. The review is being undertaken to ensure that the right advice and guidance is provided to people who might be facing an emergency.
