Pensioner Just Missing Out scheme
Could you or someone you know be eligible to receive a £200 voucher which can be redeemed towards food, energy, or both?
The Pensioner Just Missing Out scheme supports Kent pensioners in need of help with significantly rising living costs. The scheme is available for pension-aged residents on lower incomes who are not eligible for Pension Credit or the government's Winter Fuel Payment.
The scheme is funded by the Department for Work and Pensions on behalf of the UK government.
Please note you will need to provide an email address and have online access for energy support activation. Food vouchers will not require online activation and can be issued by email or post.
For further details, including eligibility criteria, please click on the following link:

Your food waste is collected weekly on the same day as your recycling or household waste collection and it may be collected by a separate lorry at a different time of the day.
Got an awkward or bulky item to dispose of? Our bulky waste collection service will remove heavy or large items too big to fit in your bin. To visit the household waste recycling centre at North Farm you must book a slot in advance using the Kent County Council booking system.
Remember you can put old batteries out during your recycling collection week and small electrical items and textiles on your household waste collection week.
Check our waste and recycling pages for more information.
