Parents and carers in Brora are being gifted a voucher to help with the sharp rise in the cost of living.
Brora Development Trust is giving parents and carers a voucher worth £2o that can be spent in KeyStore Express in the village.
Parents and carers were given a voucher for each child of nursery age and above – as well as for home-schooled children.
The trust gifted 205 vouchers throughout Brora Primary and Golspie High School, and they can be used to buy goods.
The food vouchers are part of Brora Development Trust’s work to support children of school age during the holiday periods when they are not at school and were funded by Westminster Foundation.
They were distributed by Brora Development Trust in response to an increasing number of people being affected by the sharp rise in the cost of living.
Tony Gill, chair of Brora Development Trust, said: “Although the vouchers aren’t a long-term solution to the high cost of living, they may provide some financial relief to households with children at this time”.
Brora Development Trust thanked KeyStore, Brora Primary School and Golspie High School for all their help and support in making the initiative possible.
Big Christmas Food Appeal
The Press and Journal has partnered with Cfine, which supports many other foodbanks and organisations across the north and north-east, for our Big Christmas Food Appeal.
Alongside the Evening Express, Energy Voice and Original 109 we are working to alleviate food poverty and ease the pressure on struggling families this winter.
We are also focusing on showing those in our communities where to get help and debunking some of the myths around food poverty.
Donations can be made via our JustGiving page or the special Amazon shopping list Cfine built for the appeal.
