For families who rely on free school meals during term time, it can be a daunting prospect having to find the money to feed children over the long school holidays.
With the cost of living crisis looming large, many parents were already struggling to make ends meet before kids broke up from school. Thankfully councils are doing their bit to help - with cash, vouchers and free holiday clubs - but what's on offer and how much financial support you can get depends on what area you live in.
While it's families who qualify for income-based free school meals who are entitled to the funding, the figure for that is currently set at £7,400 per household, sparking calls for that to be raised.
