I don't know I don't get them but there's plenty at the school get them with both parents working ?If you get working tax credits your free school meal entitlement stops. The earning threshold is slightly higher for universal credit I think

Of course they do. You do realise that this small proportion of people that you know is no way representative of the real life struggles people face.My point is that they chose to smoke instead of feed there children.
The cut off for free school meals is £7,400 on universal credit or if your on tax credits it is when you work 16 hours or moreI don't know I don't get them but there's plenty at the school get them with both parents working ?
Not sure many people do this outside of channel 5 ‘documentaries’.
Of course some do, but that’s why free school meals or food vouchers are great. They can only be used for that purpose.
I've no idea but in my sons class alone there's 2 parents that work in McDonalds and he gets free meals there's also 2 parents that do admin in the hospital one full-time one part-time they get them.The cut off for free school meals is £7,400 on universal credit or if your on tax credits it is when you work 16 hours or more
I worked in a supermarket for 3 years as my Saturday job and early years food vouchers specifically state they can be used only for certain types of food.The vouchers can be spent on anything in store someone i know bought a TV from john Lewis with hers!.

The store shouldn’t of allowed it and also they normally come in £5 increments so they must have had a lot of vouchers...
This sounds like an absolute lie she must have been saving up years of vouchersThe vouchers can be spent on anything in store someone i know bought a TV from john Lewis with hers!.

mine is and still is positive experience - I had the usual side effects from jabs - sore arm and feeling grotty for 24 hours (was expecting this as was advised to take paracetamol for 24 hours)
My mum had no side effects so she thinks she had the placebo jab which is the meningitis jab
We have to do weekly swab tests which makes it a plus
We will get get blood drawn at regular intervals for next 11 months for serology tests
EXACTLY!!! I was shocked to learn that there are actually more food banks in the UK than there are mcdonalds!! Idk about your towns but within a 10 mile radius of my house I have 6 mcdonalds. We have a problem that we had way before COVID.Lots of people on low incomes are unable to save which means they are just one emergency or unexpectedly high bill away from being in a situation where they can’t afford to feed their children.
When MPs say it’s parents mismanaging money it’s because they want us all to assume that they are all buying themselves luxuries or cigarettes or something because this country loves poverty porn and loves to have some one to blame (I’m sure some people do this - but the majority of people do put their children first.)
This is why the 60% furlough payments are so worrying, even more children are going to be living in poverty. I can’t imagine the worry some people are facing.
That is so very lovely! xWe've had other parents who know another family is struggling (via WhatsApp parents chat) and come in to school and as a group paid for their children's school meals until December. This happened 2 weeks ago and I think about it constantly. Made me and several other teachers bawl in the staff room as we had no idea the family was facing such hardship.
Both parents very affluent high flying jobs in aviation, now on universal credit which doesnt even cover their mortgage, never mind food for their kids.
Edit: We also had parents come in to return their vouchers to give to others as they didn't want to use them if not needed when someone else will need them more. These parents are a pain in the ASS on a normal day but they've filled my heart so much since March.
The Waitrose ones could be used in John Lewis, that shouldn't of been allowed. My last ones for the summer holidays didn't work so lost out on £200It was the vouchers over lockdown. She ordered online they wernt in 5 pound increments. They got a lump sum before the summer holidays.
I don't have kids, but as far as I'm concerned all state schools should offer free school meals for all children and stuff the means-testing. I would rather see a £1bn+ a year spent on feeding all state-school kids than being pissed down the drain on poxy white elephants like HS2, the budget of which is already heading towards £110bn.Not sure many people do this outside of channel 5 ‘documentaries’.

Edit to say our criteria is different to Englands that must be whyThe cut off for free school meals is £7,400 on universal credit or if your on tax credits it is when you work 16 hours or more
£180? For a telly? From John Lewis?As I have said she got a lump sum for 3 children before the summer holidays it was like 10 pound a week per child. So times that by 6 weeks.
