Southwark Council has agreed to provide free school meals for one year to local secondary school pupils whose parents live on Universal Credit but don’t receive free school meals, in another victory for our Feed the Future campaign.
The new initiative will provide relief to thousands of families struggling with the spiralling cost of living and follows Sunday’s announcement by the mayor of London, broken by The Independent, of his £130m emergency package to extend free school meals to every primary school child in London for one year.
