Look out for free food vouchers

Households that qualify will automatically receive a one-off food voucher worth around £40 for each eligible child or young person in January 2023.

The vouchers are available for:

• children who receive benefit related free school meals
• children in an early years setting (nurseries and pre-schools) who receive free childcare for 2 year-olds or the early years pupil premium for 3 and 4-year-olds
• care leavers aged up to 21 years of age living independently

No need to apply - vouchers will be sent by email or text message.
