Grocery Aid School Essentials Grant 2025

[Strawbsss]

Here we go again ladies. I thought I would do a new thread rather than commenting on the 2024 one.

Post any updates / declines / successes here 👌🏼

Hi has anyone heard back yet? I’ve got a feeling we will all find out together this year

No, nothing 🥴
Im so unhopeful after last year 😭

Honestly dreading it. Sure it had a shorter find out by date this year though so hoping we will start to hear soon!

Yeah it did, we emailed last year saying August was too late to find out as all the back to school offers would be finished etc. I’m glad they listened but I’m really worried. I missed out last year and it really stung x

Still nothing for us too. My oldest started secondary last september & we didn't get it.. & his school are changing uniform for this September so I have to buy it all again aswell🫠

Last year was my first year applying and I also didn’t receive the grant. I really hope we are successful this year my son is high school and everything is so expensive

Omg what a nightmare!
I’m checking these threads religiously as well as the Facebook page x

Snap & they don't actually answer peoples questions when they've asked they just put the same generic response. Not seen anyone say they've had a successful email yet though dunno whether thats a good thing or not

Yeah, same.
im sure it look a couple of weeks for successes to start coming through last year x

Has anyone heard anything yet?

No
I’ve got a feeling all emails will be sent same day if successful or not and paid at the same time
I’ve not seen anyone post they’ve been paid yet.

Nothing here received for 3 kids 3 years running so 🤞🏻 x

I think the same x

Just googled and everyone will find out Friday 11th July

Is that just what the Grocery Aid website states? As they said last year we would find out by a date in August and people got payments right up until August and then they sent a blanket unsuccessful email to everyone else x

I’ve emailed and they said everyone will find out on the same day x

Ah good will post any updates if I hear anything at all this week x

I hope we hear soon. school uniform offers have started already George has 20% off this week.

This does not fill me with a sense of hope 😔

Me neither x

Still nothing for me has anyone else heard anything?

Nothing here x

Nothing here either x

Nothing here either not feeling to hopeful about getting it

I worked out last year I found out 3 weeks 2 days after applying which would be tomorrow so hopefully shouldn't be too much longer. Strange how no ones received it yet though.
