Free School Meals – Payments for school holidays.
Welsh Government have confirmed today that they will not be making payments to parents/carers for meals in the summer holidays or beyond. Their statement confirms that they explored a possible extension to the scheme that they previously announced would cease in May half term, but due to budgetary constraints, it was not possible for them to continue with the scheme.
We understand that this will be a concern to many families, Welsh Government have asked us to signpost the following website that provides information on possible sources of financial support for people experiencing extreme financial pressures:

Welsh Government are also encouraging people to contact Advicelink Cymru - Citizens Advice for free impartial advice on maximising their incomes, including accessing any financial support.
