Stigma in accessing food during the summer holidays can have a lasting negative impact on children and families struggling to put food on the table, it has been claimed.
Labour councillors urging the Scottish Government to “provide a universal approach” to help people in this situation warned it can also have a detrimental effect on children as young as four.
During the most recent full council meeting, elected members from Labour and the Greens praised the work the council had done to eradicate food poverty but also stressed the need for the council to be informed on the future of the holiday hunger funding from the Scottish Government.
