Provide a free school meal for all children and young people in education.
It is well known that in the UK there are many parents who can be classified as the working poor.
These parents are on a low wage however do not qualify for certain benefits such as free school meals because their earnings reach by a small margin above the thresholds
There have been many campaigns and statistical information gathered that demonstrates how a hot school meal for children and young people in state funded education, supports both their educational progress and personal wellbeing.
