Thousands of households on low incomes can apply for free supermarket vouchers worth up to £320
We reveal what help you can get if you don't qualify for the £320 vouchers FOOD BOOST Thousands of households on low incomes can apply for free supermarket vouchers worth up to £320 Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THOUSANDS of low income households can apply for free supermarket vouchers worth up to £320. The help comes via the latest round of Household Support Fund which is worth £742million to councils across England. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 A council is giving hard-up households supermarket vouchers worth up to £320 Credit: Getty Councils have been given a share of the fund and are now distributing it to households in need. The eligibility criteria varies depending on where you live, but you will usually qualify for help if you're on a low income or benefits. North Northamptonshire Council has opened applications for hard-up households to apply for supermarket vouchers worth up to £320. Single person households are eligible for £150, two person households £260 and those with three or more people in the home qualify for £320. You must meet certain eligibility criteria to qualify for the vouchers. For example, your household must have a total income, including all benefit payments, below certain thresholds. Households with two adults and no children must have a total income of less than £658. Households with a single adult and two children cannot have a total income of £890 or more. You also cannot have money, savings and investments totalling over certain amounts if you want to qualify. More details on the eligibility criteria and applications can be made via Three key benefits that YOU could be missing out on, and one even gives you a free TV Licence North Northamptonshire Council says it takes around 30 minutes to apply and two months to process any applications. The council will contact you by phone or email with any follow up questions. If it needs more information from you you have to provide it within seven days or your application will be denied. If approved, vouchers will be issued directly to the email address of the main person who applied. Can I get help if I live outside North Northamptonshire? Whether you can get help via the Household Support Fund depends on where you live. Because each council sets its own eligibility criteria, it's a postcode lottery as to whether you'll get help. However, the chances are if you're on benefits or a low income you will be able to get help. The best thing to do is visit your local council's website and try to navigate to the Household Support Fund page. Once there, read the eligibility criteria and see if you can apply. Or, you can contact your local council's customer service helpline to inquire. The latest round of Household Support Fund runs until March 31, 2026, and some councils have already opened up for applications. Others are still deciding how to distribute their share of the fund though. Households in Birmingham are being urged to apply for £200 payments. Meanwhile, hard-up pensioners in Hull are set to receive £200 in free cash. Other help if you're on a low income If you're not eligible for the Household Support Fund, there is an abundance of other help on offer. It's worth checking if you're eligible for benefits if you haven't already - it could boost your bank balance by thousands of pounds a year. Are you missing out on benefits? YOU can use a benefits calculator to help check that you are not missing out on money you are entitled to Charity Turn2Us' benefits calculator works out what you could get. Entitledto's free calculator determines whether you qualify for various benefits, tax credit and Universal Credit. and charity StepChange both have benefits tools powered by Entitledto's data. You can use Policy in Practice's calculator to determine which benefits you could receive and how much cash you'll have left over each month after paying for housing costs. Your exact entitlement will only be clear when you make a claim, but calculators can indicate what you might be eligible for. If you're struggling with the cost of food, check where your nearest food bank is, to help you get cupboard staples for less. The Trussell Trust has hundreds of food banks across the UK, and you can find your nearest one here - Do you have a money problem that needs sorting?

Danny Armstrong transfer saga over as former Kilmarnock star poised to sign megabucks deal in next 24 hours
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) DANNY ARMSTRONG is set to sign his megabucks deal at Dinamo Bucharest in the next 24 hours. SunSport told on Tuesday how the ambitious Romanian side had made the winger an eye-watering offer. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 Danny Armstrong is leaving Kilmarnock Credit: Kenny Ramsay It's thought Armstrong, who rejected a deal to stay at Kilmarnock, has now flown to Dinamo's pre-season training camp in Poland. He will undergo a medical today then put pen to paper on the life-changing contract. Dinamo weren't prepared to hang around with their season starting on July 12. After failing to win the title since 2007 they are spending huge sums to try to change that. Their Croatian boss Zeljko Kopic is on the hunt for a wideman and was desperate to land Armstrong. But they told him they wanted a quick answer and he will now link up with his new teammates as they prepare for the new season. Dinamo president Andrei Nicolescu has admitted they are close to landing Armstrong. He said: "Negotiations are very advanced between us and Danny Armstrong. He is very close to signing for Dinamo. "He is a very promising player and will play a big part in our long term plans. "We have decided to look at foreign players for the new season rather than sign the many Romanian players who are roaming around, having done nothing in their careers. Remembering Bill Browning: The Iconic Scottish Baker's Legacy "We are trying to build something at the club. We are very ambitious."

The most popular car body type has also been revealed NEED FOR SPEED Britain's fastest-selling used cars revealed as 'cheap yet very well equipped' SUV tops the charts – see full list Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THE UK'S fastest selling car of the month has been revealed by Auto Trader. Taking an average of just 15 days to sell in June, the MG HS sold two weeks faster than the average car in the country. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 The MG HS (petrol, 1 year) is an SUV which came out as the most sold car in June Credit: Alamy Additionally, the average SUV has been selling at an average of 29 days. Marc Palmer, Head of Strategy and Insight at Auto Trader said: 'Car buyers are still attracted by great value, which the HS offers in spades, and the fact it's selling a fortnight faster than the national average highlights just how popular it is. Sales of used cars have also seen an increase, at 29 days which is a day faster than June last year, and two days faster than the same period in 2023. Palmer added: 'The speed at which used cars sell is an accurate barometer of the strength of the used car market and our data suggests it remains in very robust health as we enter the summer months, as reflected in May's record 86.3 million site visits. 'As ever, there's huge nuance in the market, so I'd really encourage retailers to analyse the data and insights available to help spot the most profitable stock for your forecourt.' The fastest selling body type of cars were hatchbacks, which accounted for 50 per cent of the top ten sales, as well as convertibles in June. They have both taken around 28 days to sell. On top of that, petrol cars make up the greatest proportion of "hottest" models in the UK. It has been the fastest selling fuel type overall, taking around 28 days. Hybrid and diesel cars follow petrol as the second most fuel types in demand, which both take 31 days to sell.

Used EV, however, have sold at a faster rate by three days when compared to this time last month, which was at 35 days. This reflects broad trends, with Brits favouring cars more than a year old. "Nearly new" cars that were aged less than 12 months old were the slowest to sell overall. The e 5-10 year old cars have been shifting the quickest, selling in 27 days.

These include the Mazda CX-5, Volvo XC40, Hyundai Tuscon, and Vauxhall Crossland X, which have all provided quick turnaround for dealers. Used convertibles have also seen a significant spike in demand over the month, despite no models making it into the month's top sales list. This may be due to rising temperatures in recent weeks, where they sold four days faster than in May at an average of 32 days. They also took a week faster than June last year, at 35 days.
