We’ve now delivered ONE MILLION healthy breakfasts to children and families hit hard by the pandemic.

Thank you to everyone that has made it possible.

But we can’t continue to rely on civil society to fill the hunger & nutrition gap.

[Impact on Urban Health @ImpUrbanHealth]

This week, the final breakfast boxes will be delivered to families in Lambeth & Southwark. That’s almost half a million free, nutritious breakfasts since March. As schools reopen, we’ll keep working to ensure every child can access the healthy #FreeSchoolMeals they need to thrive

BREAKING NEWS!

Public Health Minister Jo Churchill said:

“The school fruit and vegetable scheme will resume as normal in Autumn when all children return to school, providing daily fresh produce for pupils and helping every child have a healthy start to life.”

[Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan @MayorofLondon]

No child should go hungry. I welcomed the Government’s U-turn to provide free school meal vouchers over the summer but thousands of eligible children aren’t registered. It’s crucial that families get this information and register by 10 July. Please share: https://t.co/O8Hmr6yykG

Love this! So many people involved in making this happen.

School food really matters. 280 students will receive two weeks’ worth of breakfasts. Many thanks to the #Southwark Safer School #Police Officers who came to help us get the breakfast packages together.

We've created a graphic which people with breathing difficulties can use to show they have a face covering exemption.

Lots of transport providers have also introduced their own schemes to show an exemption.

The Government is yet to confirm the return of the School Fruit and Vegetable scheme in September. Child nutrition and health is crucial, now more than ever.

Tell us your thoughts about the halt - we will use your feedback to inform our policy actions.

Common sense prevails. Good news for 1.3m children and heartening to know that @educationgovuk has listened to the tireless campaigners, teachers, community workers - and parents who just want to feed their children well. Happy day.

[Impact on Urban Health @ImpUrbanHealth]

During school closures it's vital children still have access to nutritious food. With @sfmtweet, we've sent out over 5,000 breakfast boxes to families in Lambeth and Southwark and are now teaming up with @ChefsinSchools to provide healthy lunch hampers https://t.co/ePnIiMJGip

[Bite Back @BiteBack2030]

.@educationgovuk have launched a £15 weekly shopping voucher to families whose children usually receive free school meals. Along w/ @sfmtweet, we have created a simple shopping list & meal ideas to help parents plan lunches for the week: https://t.co/rgPzxX5Rpa #BiteBackLunchList

[Food for Life @SAfoodforlife]

Today the Government has updated the guidance relating to free school meal provision in the wake of school closures due to Coronavirus.

However, more is needed from the DfE on various fronts to ensure all children have access to good, nutritional food https://t.co/8E6Eloiryo

The amazing @WasteNotProject are fundraising for a refrigerated delivery van and driver insurance for much needed food sharing scheme. You can donate @justgiving https://t.co/xVRVYuHdVv
Thank you team for doing a brilliant job supporting the community in #Battersea

[Department for Education @educationgovuk]

We have been informed some parents have received an email stating:

‘As schools will be closing, if you're entitled to free school meals, please send your bank details and we'll make sure you're supported’.

This is a scam email - do not respond, and delete immediately.

Thanks to a global partnership of donors, governments and millions of health workers, we've made incredible progress against polio. But we're not done.

Together, we can make history.

Together, we can #EndPolio once and for all. https://t.co/MJQHxgF0BS
