Further criteria guidance

Total applied for £28 x 20 = £560. The grant will provide 20 x7 = 140 meals. Please show your workings as above in Section 3 of the application form.
- A food parcel/hamper may be for an individual or more than one person (family). Please ensure you are clear on the application form how many meals are being provided. Eg. 18 hampers provided. A family hamper is worth £45, which provides 5 meals for 3 people (£3 per meal, per person). Total applied for £45x18 = £810. The grant will provide (5x3) = 15 meals x 18 hampers = 270 meals. Please show your workings as above in Section 3 of the application form.
- If hampers are including items other than food, only food can be funded through this grant.
