If you are on a low income then they should get £30 a week each in EMA although in understand there has been some delays.If they are struggling financially its always worth them or you for that matter speaking to student services at the college they sometimes have access to funds.
It might also be an idea for them to get part time jobs(if they havent already)many of the larger retailers are taking on extra staff now ready for xmas,I noticed our local argos had a large poster in the window for staff.0
