Children of parents with below average income are considered poor but are denied free school meals. Children’s Society urges government to take necessary measures.

According to the report in London, 57% of the poor children miss free school meals, with 51% in the South West and 35% in the North West.
With the rising cost of living and with poor parents struggling to provide basis needs to their children, the Children’s Society’s Fair and Square campaign is urging the government to reconsider the eligibility for free meals and to make sure that every child in poverty gets a meal.
