Councillors have agreed to support a scheme helping people struggling in Burntwood.

The white goods scheme is run by the Burntwood Lions group and sees items supplied to those referred from social services and other agencies.

A presentation at a meeting of August, Burntwood Town Council’s policy and resources committee heard how more than £3,650 helping 16 households by supplying cookers, fridge freezers and washing machines.

Councillors were told that there had been a significant rise in demand due to domestic abuse cases and the cost of living crisis.

Cllr Steve Norman, chair of the committee, said:

> “The work done by the Burntwood Lions volunteers is well known and members were unanimous in agreeing to fund the white goods scheme up to £3,000 as proposed, before further review.  
>  
> “The Burntwood Lions cannot deal with applications direct so applicants must go through social services, a housing association or other bodies.   
>  
> “Members also heard that they were in need of new volunteers to help with checking what equipment would be appropriate and arranging for the fitting.”
