Continue providing Free School Meal vouchers during the summer holidays.
Many families up and down the country are reliant on free school meals vouchers to feed their children - and many are not in great financial situations at the moment. The Government should continue the Free School Meals voucher scheme to help ensure kids are properly fed during the summer holidays.
Lots of people are currently furloughed - so they've potentially lost 20% of their income, and many could be made unemployed by businesses, as they try to make savings to rebuild their businesses back up again. We're in perilous times, and many people's finances are vulnerable. Children shouldn't have to be at the brunt of this pandemic - no child should have to starve in the sixth richest country in the world. Continuing FSM vouchers in the holidays would help ensure that children are getting food.
