The average working family doesn't qualify for any
grants,

May *cover* Britain but look at the eligibilty requirements on:

Child or Working Family Tax Credit is going to be received by most
families but notice you have to have an "annual income" below
£16,190, the average UK wage (individual) is about £24,000.

Plenty of single parents, part time employed might qualify. Anybody
working fulltime for minimum wage, earns less than £16 K; (including
professional, qualified gardeners btw, back on topic) and a lot of other
jobs , see below
