15 Oct 2021
-School Holiday Meal Scheme for FSM Children.pdf-
The Borough is continuing to support families via the
School Holiday Meal Scheme as it did during previous holiday periods. The scheme is a way of providing funds to ensure that eligible families can purchase food over the October half-term holidays to replace the meals a child would have received during a school day.
Eligible families can apply to receive
£15 per child per week to support with meals.
The application window will open
from Monday 18 October at 9am, closing on
Monday 25 October at 5pm. Families who received payment via the scheme previously
do not need to reapply and will automatically receive the funds into their nominated bank account by week commencing
Monday 25 October.
Eligible families who apply via the scheme for support and have not received money in the past, are expected to receive payments by week commencing
Monday 8 November. If further eligibility checks are required, this may delay payment.
Details about the scheme will be updated on the Council’s
website from
Friday 15 October, with the application form going live from
Monday 18 October.
