From Asda free school meals, to making the most of free time
Schools out for summer! Well, almost!
Have you got plans in place to keep your children occupied during what can sometimes feel like a marathon summer break Whether you’re staying at home or heading away, it’s been quite an 18 months – and hardly a day goes by without seeing footballer Marcus Rashford’s name appear online or in the newspaper. What an impact he made though, and what success he’s had in helping children with free school meals.
Late last year, the government changed its mind and decided to provide free school meals to children during the Christmas holiday period, something that was only made possible thanks to the outstanding campaign led by the Manchester United and England footballer.
On the 7th November 2020, UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson, phoned Rashford to confirm that there would be over £390m worth of support to provide free school meals to children last Christmas, over Easter and the upcoming summer holidays. The announcement came as a welcome relief to children, parents and carers, because it meant that they can focus on making the most of all the free time they will have.
Following Rashford’s great work, we wanted support by helping schools, councils and charities to easily provide Asda free school meals, and get more value for their money. So what does it entail, and how can the organisation you work for, get involved?
