Bring back the £30 free school meal vouchers.
End the contract with Chartwells and bring back the £30 free school meal vouchers.
I don't think that the free school meals hamper provided by Chartwells is efficient for children for the 2 weeks it is ment to last for. For most people these are challenging times for people, there are alot of struggling families that find it hard at the best of times and I believe that the £30 voucher to help with meals while the schools are closed are a big help. A hamper from Chartwells cost around £5 this is no where near the £30 mark that parents where once recieving.
