Closed Fund free school meals over school holidays until April 2021

Closed on

The Government should reverse its decision not to fund free school meals for children during school holidays, and fund this until April 2021 to help lower income families, especially those who have been impacted greatly during COVID-19.

Children are the future of our society who have no say in who or where they are brought up or how they are brought up, therefore why should they suffer the consequence of poverty and the detrimental effects of COVID-19. Children have rights and we should be advocating those rights.
