Bucks Council are offering summer support packages for families who would normally receive free school meals.
Eligible families have been able to sign up to get digital food vouchers worth £70 for each child. The voucher scheme is part of the council’s ‘Helping Hand’ initiative to give extra help and support to families who might be struggling with bills or putting food on the table.
Buckinghamshire Council has also announced its five-week ‘Holiday Activities and Food’ (HAF) programme - a fantastic programme of free activity sessions where eligible children (school-aged children aged 5-16 who receive benefits-related free school meals) will also get a healthy meal.
Activities available in the HAF programme range from graffiti art to self-defence to various sports and lots more. There are thousands of places available for the eligible young people which are filling up fast; you can find out more at www.buckinghamshire.gov.uk/haf.
If anyone is worried about access to food or other essentials, and is not sure what help is available, they can contact the council’s Helping Hand support line on 01296 531 151 or contact the council online via the website www.buckinghamshire.gov.uk.”
