Petition to end child food poverty - provide meal vouchers in school holidays


Recommended Posts

Hope it's okay to share on this page but I thought I would, as it's nearly at 1 million and could do with more support - government seem to be agreeing that no child should be without food over school holidays but refusing to act and provide vouchers for families in need (in contrast to Wales and Scotland I believe who are offering food vouchers in holidays until spring 2021 at least).

Whatever your party politics, hopefully we can all agree that nobody should be going hungry in this country in this day and age and by supporting free school meals in school holidays we are supporting their families also, in a period where many are suffering.


I read that London unemployment rates had doubled since the start of the pandemic. Truly shocking and I think many of us are very sheltered and fortunate to have stable jobs, so should be doing what we can whether supporting a petition or giving to a food bank or local charity.


Thanks for reading, much appreciated.

    • Corbyn was unelectable - he got trashed by Boris who was a buffoon. It was a good job too because I would have hated to see Corbyn and his rag-tag bunch of far-left university politics backbenchers try to lead the country through Covid.  It is completely understandable why Starmer and the Labour Party want to purge Momentum from within their ranks and Cllr McAsh has fallen victim of that.

    • Hello.   Thanks Nigel and Hparker 😀   I've got new slots available for new students looking for a piano teacher or guitar teacher.   You could start in the new term beginning September, or I'm also available adhoc-styles through the summer holidays at times.   I teach all ages, in most styles, in lots of different ways according to how you learn/like to learn.   Give me a call or text on 07730 402336.   I have connections to lots of performance opportunities/networks too.   I run regular events /student concerts, and play in bands/perform.   Natalie. 
    • So do I, but I think they are in trouble as well.  Anyway, that space wouldn't be big enough.
