What planet are some of these politicians from? Please Wandsworth Council, plug the gap for free school meals during the holiday provision.

Please carry on the good work to enable every child to have a school dinner. This is a must.

No child should ever go hungry. Certainly not in this day and age. Free meals and snacks for all school children

Every child deserves to have at least one hot nutritious meal every day particularly with the challenges that the pandemic pose for families.

I am appalled at the govt's intransigence on this issue. Hungry children need food.

Call me bleeding-heart snowflake if you like, but I think it'd be a nice idea to not let children go malnourished...

Children are our future. How can government give money for 'eat out to help out' and not support families in need

As a single parent of 3 small children when my husband walked out on us in the 90s, 00s I was in and out of work and struggling to get a degree and post graduate in teaching. During holidays I had to get support from welfare when I was working in an agency and no work available or between uni years, or working 15 hrs per week. Many times I fed my children on rice and beans as it was nutritious . I didn’t smoke or drink I just didn’t have enough for rent and food together. My children needed a roof over their heads. I know how it feels to be in despair. I would not wish what I went through on anyone. I lived in hell. Now I’m disabled and living in a different hell but at least it’s only me. One time my 9 yr old son was ill. I took him to the doctor for some calpol for his temperature. I didn’t have any money left in my purse. The locum said “ I know people like you have money. I’m not giving you a prescription” I cried and walked my sick son all the way home. I was heartbroken. I wouldn’t put what my beloved children went through for anything. All are now in work, one is a police officer, one is in Berlin directing a film, one has never been out of work since leaving school and is now 35. A little help feeding them would have stopped so many tears.

Free meal (vouchers) are a much more immediate way of ensuring that food gets to a hungry child, rather than the ponderous vehicle of Universal Credit. Any food parcels must contain only healthy foods - no crisps, chocolate etc. Proper food for brain and body!
