Closed Stop the cap on free school meals!

Closed on

4.1 million children in the UK are living in poverty! for many of these a free school meal is their only hot meal for that day.. and for some, it is their only meal! It is a child's human right to receive an education and how are they supposed to do so if they are hungry all the time?

We need to help children, they deserve the same opportunity as every other child. It is selfish to take this from them
