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 👌🏼

I had an email on the 22nd to say they was progressing my application to keep an eye on my emails for an further updates up til the 18th fingers crossed we hear this week or next

Ah I've not received an email like that so wondering if that means ive not been successful

I applied on the website and not through the link from the school one so maybe that could be why I received an email when I applied and one on the 22nd but I’ve heard people who clicked the link haven’t even had a confirmation email to say they applied

Possibly! I clicked through the link when I was unsuccessful for the uniform one. Will keep waiting 🤞🏼for us all

Will let you know when I hear back of them

I had an email this morning to say I was successful for the cost of living grant.

Thanks for the update I haven’t heard anything yet what time was that?

Me too at 10am this morning! payment should be in my bank in 3 days

I had email this morning saying I was successful so glad

still nothing for me x

I’ve received an email yesterday asking if I wanted to get a financial grant and to sent statements if I did as I get disable and carers element but they did say if I wanted to go ahead with the original application for the cost of living to let them know so I emailed them back to say I’ll go ahead with the cost of living yesterday but still haven’t heard back from them yet

I had an email on Friday too. It went into my account yesterday 😄 fingers crossed for everyone still waiting 🤞

I got the school grant email on the 8th July, just as I walked out of surgery (dropping my baby ,8, for a major operation) saying that we were unsuccessful. I applied for the col. I've been unable to work due to be sons accident. I got an email today, I thought they might help with £2/300...but they are actually covering my loss of earnings!! Xxx

Fantastic!!! What a weight off your mind. I hope your little one is doing well
