How parents can claim food and milk using a Healthy Start Card

As inflation rates reach double figures, parents are likely trying to find ways to cut back money on their food budget.

Fortunately, the NHS runs a scheme for parents of young children which could help them afford food and milk, meaning that their children's diets don't have to suffer. The Healthy Start Scheme allows parents to be provided with a card with money on it that can be used in selected shops in the UK.

However, it's not just food and milk that can be bought with the card. To further help nurture the health of your child, you can use the card to collect vitamins during pregnancy and breastfeeding as well as vitamin drops for babies and young children.
