Bring back the food vouchers instead of food hampers

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

We would like you to issue parents with food vouchers instead of food hampers and only the Goverment can do this and tell schools to to this.

Goverment can tell schools to issue us with vouchers instead of hampers. It’s not worth the money the government are giving to schools and we only get little bit but with the vouchers we can get a lot more and we can chose what we feed our kids

Why it was rejected

The UK Government or Parliament was already taking the action it asked for.

The national voucher scheme to provide meals to children eligible for free school meals during lockdown reopened on Monday 18th January. Schools are able to claim back support provided through lunch parcels or locally arranged vouchers since 4th January from the Department for Education.

You might like to sign the following petition:
Only close schools in lockdown if free school meals vouchers are available
Make free school meals vouchers available as soon as schools close in lockdowns
