Cheshire East Borough Council awarded a contract to Changing Lives in Cheshire for Lot 2 of the supply of goods and services under the CEC Emergency Assistance Scheme, valued at £220,663.

The scheme, introduced following changes to the Social Fund by the Department for Work and Pensions from April 2013, provides non-cash support—primarily recycled or reconditioned white goods and furniture, along with general welfare advice and signposting—to vulnerable residents in genuine need, including those facing immediate hardship, at risk of homelessness, or requiring support to remain in the community.

Lot 1 was awarded to Christian Concern, and the notice was sent via 'the Chest'.
