Free school meals for schools, made easier…
According to the BBC, roughly 1.4 million children in England claimed for free school meals in January 2020. Earlier this month, the Government reversed its decision not to offer free school meals during the Christmas holidays. Following a campaign by Manchester United and England footballer Marcus Rashford, the Government has now pledged to give £170m to local authorities. During the Christmas holidays, the money will be used to provide children with food, while schools continue to provide meals during term time.
