“This winter the county council has delivered one of the biggest school holiday meal support schemes to thousands of children.

 

We know from first-hand feedback that this help makes a real difference to people who are challenged by the consequences of the pandemic.

 

Now we have ongoing funding to continue support children accessing free school meals during Easter, Summer and Christmas of 2021, supporting children and their families with food and activities to keep children happy and healthy.”

 

Mark Sutton, Cabinet Member for Children and Young People
