Write to your MP to support the #FeedtheFuture campaign to raise the threshold for free school meals to give all children living in poverty a free lunch #CostofLivingCrisis #BreadlineResearch
Today we launch our #FeedtheFuture campaign calling on @GOVUK to give Free School Meals to more children.
This will support families during the #CostOfLivingCrisis and guarantee children a hot meal daily.
