Holiday Free School Meals Vouchers
We are pleased to advise that the families of pupils eligible for benefit-related Free School Meals (including 24U and EYPP children who are in a school nursery class) are once again to be provided with support towards food costs for the October 2022 half-term holiday (for 5 days - 5 x £3 = £15 per pupil). This is being provided through a Government grant from the Department of Works and Pensions (the Household Support Fund). Further funding will be provided for Christmas 2022 holiday period (10 days, £30 per pupil) and the February 2023 half-term break (5 days, £15 per pupil).
We are only able to provide this financial support for benefits entitled FSM pupils and are unable to continue to provide vouchers for other vulnerable families due to limits on the funding available.
If you need support but don’t qualify for this funding, they can be directed to the Council’s Welfare Support Team application line - 0345 678 9078 (option 2) for support.
