Families on Universal Credit can get extra help this Easter break

Parents claiming Universal Credit and other benefits may be able to get extra financial help to feed their children over the Easter holiday break.

Families can claim vouchers to spend at supermarkets that are equivalent to what your child may have been receiving at school. This can be up to £30, depending on where in the UK you live.

Eligibility for free school meals - or their equivalent - varies slightly between local councils. However, children from households on a number of benefits are typically eligible from the ages of 4 to 16.
