After the government’s decision not to continue to fund free school meals over the holidays – the County Council and District and City councils are issuing a reminder to all those that are struggling to cope during this pandemic to make contact. This offer of support includes families who may be struggling but are not eligible for free school meals. If you need support please contact the Countywide hub on 03450455219.
Local Councils will support people to access food and other supplies if they are struggling to provide for their families; and this will include those who are eligible for free school meals during the holidays. Advice and guidance is also made available to ensure families are maximising their eligibility for other benefits.
