Pod Bites: Holiday hunger warning

What happens to children who rely on Free School Meals during the school holidays?

The Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) Programme helps fills that gap and goes far beyond by supporting children's wellbeing and development outside of term time.

But 1.3 million children could miss out on nutritious meals if the government doesn't expand the scheme alongside plans to extend Free School Meals from September, as Hannah Abrams, our Senior Policy and Advocacy Officer, explains in our latest podcast.
