Thousands said to be missing out on £34 per month free food help available from the NHS

UK residents who are pregnant or have a child under four - and are on low income - may be able to claim free money to help combat the cost of living crisis and inflating food costs.

The NHS Healthy Start scheme allows certain people to access pre-paid cards between £4.25 and £8.50 each week, or £17 and £34 each month to help with groceries.

However there's a bit of a catch. The only things you'll be able to purchase with the money are things like fruit, vegetables, dairy milk infant formula and vitamins.
