At these activities, students entitled to free school meals will receive a free lunch
Nottingham families will be recieving more support over the summer holidays. The City Council is once again making weekly £15 vouchers available to pupils that receive school meals, but the council is also organising a number of outdoor holiday activities across the city.
The activity fund of £1.8m was awarded through a bidding process which was made available to community groups, charities and schools with the ability to deliver outdoor holiday activities in neighbourhoods across the city. More than 3,000 children took part in the activities over the Easter holidays, with sessions being led by the Nottingham Forest Community Trust and Trent Bridge Community Trust.
“Nottingham has around 15,000 children eligible for free school meals and is right and proper that we are given this funding to ensure healthy meals for children in need.” Parents with children eligible for free school meals can book places on the activities using their e-voucher codes which will be distributed by their child’s school.
Calum Osborne, Chief Executive Officer at Nottingham Forest Community Trust, said: “We are thrilled to continue our positive partnership with Nottingham City Council and local organisations to deliver the city’s HAF programme during the upcoming summer holidays.
