Closed Provide the free school meal entitlement throughout the year.

Closed on

To legislate to provide full funding for free school meals to qualifying children throughout the entire year.

During the school year, all children are able to enjoy a nutritious hot meal, and for the most needy, this might be the only hot meal of the day. However once the school holidays or closures occur, our most needy children may have to forego a daily hot meal, with all the consequent damage this will do to their nutritional needs.
