Make Healthy start vouchers available to all low income families

Closed 29 signatures

What the petition asks

Poverty does not only exist in non-working families. The ability to access fruit, vegetables and milk is essential but not always possible for low income families that work. Healthy growth and development should be of paramount importance for this government, allowing the working poor to thrive.
I believe that if we can make this change we will reap the benefits as a nation within a small amount of time. We will see the general health of families on low incomes improving meaning less strain on our hospitals and doctors surgeries. People less likely to eat sweets and high sugar foods so will see an improvement in oral health the wider implications are endless.
