1. A lot (most?) free school meal kids are from homes with working parents. A lot are furloughed or on reduced excess for other hours or recently made redundant waiting for UC to arrive.No they do not I myself went on free school dinners. Free school meals are nothing new but why all of sudden do we have starving children.
2. A lot of charities realise this is a problem in normal times and run holiday clubs and lunch clubs. These are 'manned' by a lot of retired volunteers who are not able to run then in these times. (There are at least three not running in our town.)
