Continue to provide free school meals for students in need over school holidays
Reverse the decision to stop providing students from low income families from receiving free school meals during the school holidays.
The government will no longer continue to provide free school meals to students over the school holidays. Thousands of hard working families depend on this service to feed their families. Without it, many children will go hungry. Please sign this petition to pressurise the government to make a u-turn on their decision to stop FSM being given to children in need. The need for food is not just in term-time.
