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 👌🏼

Im hopeful it’ll be this week 😭

I’ve emailed to have the same response saying we will hear of the outcome by the 11th July.

It’s so frustrating. If they were honest and transparent they would save themselves having to type out the same email over and over 🙄

I emailed too but just got the same standard email back. Surely they know by now each applicants outcome..

There’s a lady who asks on the Facebook page almost daily and they literally reply with the same thing every day 🙈

it’s almost like they enjoy it x

Nothing here today x

Same here hopefully we hear by the end of the week x

Nothing here today again. Second year applying for 3 kids. Wasn't successful last year and don't have a good feeling about this year either. Honestly I thought someone on here would have heard by now. I know they keep stating we will all hear by the 11th but I haven't seen one single person say they have been accepted, even on Facebook.

Same, I’ve got 3 kids and wasn’t accepted last year either.

I don’t think I recall seeing anyone with 3 kids approved last year which is sad x

Snap same for me, 3 kids and not successful last year x

Nothing again today. They will probably wait until the last day to tell us ..,

for successful applicants to be paid this week payment would have to be made today to reach accounts by Friday they send it by Bacs. I’ve lost all hope now they made a admin error with my application last year and said my job wasn’t grocery when it is and apologised for the mistake a month later.

I get a feeling itll be an everyone told on one day thing this year. Just to give some of you hope, i applied with 3 last year and got given it

I also have 3 kids and received few years running.

I received three year ago for three kids when it was first come first serve, I didn't last year with this way of doing it qnd not hopeful. Good luck everyone

I haven't heard anything yet and didn't get it last year but I did the year before. Hopefully get it this year as my oldest starts secondary school. Fingers crossed for us all 🤞🤞.

Anyone heard anything? I'm not holding out hope didn't get it last year and they not prioritising those that didn't get it last year so not hopeful again this year

Nothing here today

Still nothing here either. Hold on for hope girls for as far as I've seen no one has confirmed a payment or email yet so we are all still in the running. At this point their statement should have read everyone will have their outcome ON 11th July not BY.

I definitely think you are right & think it will be on the 11th and not by the 11th at this point. They would of saved themselves and everyone so much hassle had they just put that🫠🤣

Nothing today, think we will hear early next week and successful applicants will be paid on the 11th . I may be struck off their list now as I’ve been hounding them 😂😂

Fingers crossed today is the day we hear from them with good news

Still not heard anything another year another decline I recon :(

I got it last year for 3 children and heard back 10 days before the date they had given to hear back. Still not heard anything yet for this year. 1 week to go till we should all hear back

Yea I've not heard anything i think the same let everyone know at same time which is better than last year
