School holiday supermarket voucher scheme ending

Please see the important update below from Newcastle City Council regarding holiday food vouchers.

The Council has confirmed that it is no longer able to provide vouchers to families during school holidays, including October half term. This is due to changes to the government funding arrangements and guidance and is not a decision made by the school.

The information from Newcastle City Council also includes details of other support available to families who may need help.
