Final Call For Pensioners To Claim £200 Pensioners who just missed out on Winter Fuel Allowance this year have one more week to claim a £200 payment from South Tyneside Council.

Payments are targeted at those who are on a low income but not eligible for Pension Credit and Winter Fuel Allowance but who may be impacted by the loss of Winter Fuel Allowance and by rising energy prices.

South Tyneside Council has published its Child Poverty Strategy - the first in the North East. South Tyneside is one of the most deprived communities in the country. A third of South Tyneside neighbourhoods are in the top 10 per cent of most deprived areas nationally. South Tyneside will take a system wide approach targeted at mitigating, preventing, and alleviating child poverty in the Borough. Nationally, child poverty has risen over recent years and nearly a third (29.2 per cent) of UK children were living in households in poverty in 2022/23. Development of the Child Poverty Strategy comes after the Council held a Child Poverty Summit in October 2024, bringing together partners from across the North East to build up a comprehensive picture of the situation in South Tyneside and to help identify actions as detailed in the proposed new strategy.
