Get up to £442 off your family's food bill by applying for a prepaid card

Parents can apply for a new prepaid card to help with their grocery bills if they have young children and are on a low income.

Families that qualify for the Healthy Start scheme used to get one or two vouchers per week, per child, but they way you receive the money changed from February 1.

Parents will now be given a prepaid card instead of paper vouchers, which will be topped up automatically every four weeks.
