Liberal Democrats Free school meals will now be extended to all families on
Universal Credit








The Liberal Democrats are celebrating another huge win today, John!

After years of us campaigning for an extension of free school meals in order
to help tackle child poverty, the Government has finally listened - any child
in England whose parents receive Universal Credit will be eligible from next
year.

As recently as March, the Government voted down our amendment to the
Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill, which would have extended free school
meals and automatically enrolled those eligible.

After immense pressure, the Government’s change of heart to implement a Lib
Dem manifesto commitment is a fantastic victory for campaigners fighting to
ensure no child goes hungry.

The change will improve children's nutrition, boost educational attainment,
and help families struggling in the cost of living crisis.

Please share our campaigning victory on social media to show the impact we

This can only be a first step towards ending the cost of learning crisis.

The Government needs to now commit to auto-enrolling all eligible pupils so
no child misses out, as language and administrative barriers often stop parents
enrolling their children.

We also need to lift the two-child benefit cap and cap branded uniform costs
to truly change the lives of children in poverty.

This is just the beginning of our campaign to ensure every child gets the best
start in life.

Do you want to help us achieve more meaningful change, John? Join the Liberal
Democrats today to support our campaigns, from ending child poverty to saving
the NHS.
