No Child Should Go Hungry During Summer Break
Continue the voucher scheme for all students on free school meal in England during summer break.
In England, 1.3 million kids rely on Free School Meals. For children from struggling families, these meals are a lifeline. Once school is out, these families' kids get left behind. Since schools closed because of the crisis, a voucher scheme has made sure these children don’t go hungry. The Government is planning to take these vouchers away.
We’re calling on the Government to make sure no child goes hungry this summer by funding Free School Meals. We need the Government to save these children.
