From September 2026 all families on Universal Credit will get free school meals - benefiting around 40,000 children in the North East. We urge the Government to go further with the Child Poverty Strategy, including ending the two-child limit. https://loom.ly/p1es85A #EndChildPoverty #FreeSchoolMeals

We are hopeful this is a step in the right direction to end child poverty in the UK. Over half a million more children will benefit from a free nutritious meal every school day, as the government expands eligibility for free school meals. www.gov.uk/government/n...
