Schoolchildren in Northumberland who qualify for free school meals are benefitting from a council-backed voucher programe to help ensure children continue to receive nutritious meals at home.
Northumberland's Conservative-led council authority introduced a targeted scheme to provide food vouchers during the last October half-term. Following the success of that scheme, the council worked to ensure that a countywide plan was in place for the last Christmas break, and this has been extended for children learning from home due to the national lockdown.
