You can send your evidence by email to financeclaims@aes.wolverhampton.gov.uk, or put the evidence into the box in the Student Gateway at the City Learning Quarter.

Don’t miss out on support for childcare. You can apply for help to pay for childcare from the government. The amount will be based on the age of your child, whether you are employed, your household income, and your immigration status.
