New parents funding is available

The Lennox Partnership is working with local childcare providers to identify parents who may benefit from support with registered childcare costs.

The criteria is earning less than £25,862 when paid the Real Living Wage and so as a Real Living Wage employer, some of our staff may be eligible to apply. The fund supports low-income parents experiencing childcare barriers, they could be:

• unemployed and preparing for work but childcare is unavailable or unaffordable
• a change in personal circumstances and temporary childcare is needed
• looking to increase working hours but unable to do so due to childcare costs
• undertaking training, education or qualifications but unable to attend due to childcare

The fund can cover 12 weeks of childcare and up to 20 hours per week at registered nurseries, childminders, breakfast clubs, after-school care and during term holidays. For more information email: childcarefundenquiries@thelennoxpartnership.org or call 0141 951 1131 and ask for the Childcare Team.

You can also signpost or complete the Parents Eligibility Survey.
