- Introduction
-
For the Christmas holidays 2021, February half-term break 2022 and Easter holidays 2022, we'll be providing food vouchers to support those who may need it.
Children who are registered with us as being eligible for income-based free school meals are eligible for the food vouchers. Some groups of children who are supported by our Children's Services will also be eligible to receive a voucher.
If your child goes to a school outside of the borough, you won't receive a voucher from us. These, or an alternative, should be given by the school your child goes to.
