Emergency Assistance is a scheme that was introduced by Cheshire East Council following the changes to the Social Fund by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) from April 2013.

Any award under the scheme is intended: - To support vulnerable people facing immediate hardship, following a crisisor disaster; - To prevent homelessness, in conjunction with support from the Housing Options Team to keep families together and safeguard vulnerable people. Alternatively support may be required to assist vulnerable people to return to or remain in the community or to ease exceptional pressure on families. The scheme is non-cash based with support provided by the provision of goods, (primarily re-cycled or reconditioned white goods and furniture) or services (including general welfare advice and signposting) and is available to those in receipt of state benefits (or low paid work in exceptional cases).
The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small ormedium enterprises (SME's).
