Struggling parents across Dumfries and Galloway are set to be given an extra £20 per week during the school holidays to help feed their kids.
A proposal will be put forward at the council’s communities committee next week for the continuation of holiday payments to support primary and secondary youngsters who are entitled to free school meals.
The help was set up two years ago when the pandemic began, giving eligible families £17.50 a week during school breaks.
