Kids Lunch Packs for school holidays
Helping families who depend on free school meals by offering kids lunch provisions during the Easter, Summer and Christmas school holidays.
We know how crucial it is for children to have nutritious meals, especially during school breaks. That’s why we offer Kids Lunch Packs, providing enough food for lunches during the holidays to support low-income families.
Registration for our Christmas Kids Lunch Packs scheme has now closed .
Who are Kids Lunch Packs for?
These packs are for families in the Chichester District with school-aged children who receive free school meals. Our goal is to ensure no child goes hungry when school is out, offering vital support to those facing financial hardship.
Please note, this scheme does not extend to nursery schools or children in further education.
