A new fund has been set up to help support Perthshire households struggling with their finances.
Created by Perth and Kinross Council, the Financial Insecurity Fund aims to help locals most in need this winter.
It comes as the Scottish Government distributed £20 million to Scottish local authorities for this purpose.
Households that currently receive Council Tax reduction and that have children under the age of six as of December 11 will receive a one-off payment of £80 for each eligible child.
