Petition Fund free school meals for all students!
Let's work in ending bullying and stigmatisation when it comes to free school meals. This will bridge the inequality gap and strengthen inclusion in our schools. Social inequalities, racism, bullying, "affordability gap", attainment gap can be eradicated by offering all students free school meals.

Debate about this must take place, it is needed now! A healthy meal is what a child needs and at school where they spend most of the day. The government must consider this asap to avoid kids being hungry.
There are multiple reasons why parents/carers cannot provide healthy meal at home: affordability, time constraints, health issues, etc.
Many school kids will go hungry in these unprecedented times. Furlough, businesses closing down, stress and mental health have risen. Matters are serious!
