Free School Meal funding during the Easter holidays

The families of children entitled to free school meals have received supermarket vouchers from the Council.

Food vouchers to the value of £30 have been issued for each eligible child to cover the two week break – roughly the same amount it costs to provide children with a free meal in school. The vouchers can be redeemed at local supermarkets.

Local schools have been distributing the vouchers to eligible families on behalf of the Council.
