Parents/carers of children who receive free school meals should check their emails for details of vouchers to help with the cost of food over the half term break. The Duke of Richmond pub (316 Queensbridge Road) are also handing out free packed lunches between 12-1pm Monday to Friday this week to families who might need them. Hackney Council will also support Marcus Rashford’s campaign and ensure that no child goes hungry this half-term, so families whose child is normally eligible for free school meals and who are struggling this half-term should contact the Council on 020 8356 3000.
