The £1.
This stipulates that the support for tackling holiday hunger should be through free school meals pupils attending holiday clubs. There are also a limited number of places available for children who aren’t eligible for free school meals and these will be allocated on a first-come-first-served basis. “Nottingham has around 15,000 children eligible for free school meals, and many of these families will already be feeling the strain because of the national cost of living crisis.
