Holiday vouchers for families with children in receipt of free school meals

Families with children who get free school meals will receive a supermarket voucher for each child during the school holidays.

The scheme enables families to be able to purchase food over the holidays to replace the meals a child would have received during a school day. The voucher provides a great choice to families as they can be used in:

  • Aldi
  • Asda
  • Marks and Spencer
  • McColl's
  • Morrisons
  • Waitrose
  • Tesco

If you have already registered your child and they are entitled to free school meals in Luton, you will automatically receive your voucher. If you do not receive a voucher, please contact your child's school.

Holiday vouchers for families with children in receipt of free school meals

Those families who are in receipt of benefit-related free school meals are also eligible to book school aged children, from Reception to Year 11, into HAF funded activities.

Activities are free to access and include enjoyable activities and a healthy meal. They will run during Easter, summer, and Christmas school holidays.
