Food vouchers for families

If you’re entitled to free school meals, then you’ll be delighted to hear that the vouchers have been extended. Not only are vouchers being given out for this October half term but will also cover the next three school holidays.
free school meal scheme

For this October half term, one £10 food voucher - which can be redeemed in supermarkets and some other shops, will be provided per eligible child or young person.  The vouchers will be distributed by your child’s school or college. 

Vouchers will also now be available to cover Christmas, February half term and the Easter holidays.

Help with your heating too

If one of your children receives free school meals, then you will also be entitled to a £50 energy voucher per family.

Full details are yet to be released but your schools should let you know as soon it’s all decided.

The vouchers are being funded from money granted to Kent County Council from the Government’s Household Support Fund.
