Therese Coffey – 2020 Comments on the Winter Grant

The comments made by Therese Coffey, the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, on 18 December 2020.

No child should have to worry about food or warmth this winter. We have worked with councils across England to ensure the £170 million Covid Winter Grant delivers well-targeted support as quickly as possible, primarily focusing on heating and eating for disadvantaged families with children.
