Help Us Stop Holiday Hunger

By Julian Vaughan, Chair North East Bedfordshire Labour Party

Like many of you, I was dismayed at the government’s decision not to back Labour’s proposal to extend the provision of free school meals during school holidays until Easter 2021.

There are over 7,000 pupils across Central Bedfordshire and Bedford Borough who are currently in receipt of free school meals, who risk going hungry over the Xmas and half term holidays.

I think it is disgraceful that MPs voted against providing food for our most vulnerable children, while enjoying cheap food and drink in the bars and restaurants of Parliament.

How you can help

• Donate to our campaign to help vulnerable pupils across North East Bedfordshire.
• We will use the funds raised to purchase supermarket vouchers.
• We will forward the vouchers to schools and foodbanks within the constituency for distribution to those families in need.
• Every £ donated will go directly to help feed vulnerable children in the NE Bedfordshire constituency.
