pushtotalk   10 #1 Posted July 14, 2013 DWP axed Community Care Grants and Crisis Loans back in April as part of welfare cuts however I've discovered Sheffield Council now operate their own replacement called local assistance grants or local assistance loans!  You still need to be getting certain benefits and meet other criteria but it's good to know help is still there for those of us who need it!  You apply on the councils website search for local assistance scheme Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
