Provide free meals for children through school,through holidays.

Rejected 18 signatures

What the petition asks

Finance schools to provide free school meals for vulnerable children and children who’s parents are financially affected because of the current pandemic,through all the holidays whilst the pandemic is still an issue.And maybe beyond whilst people sort their finances out.

This is the only way to ensure children get food.It is not open to abuse.A letter can be sent home for parents or a child can request this by teachers explaining what they can do to get a meal should they want one.
