£200 needed for supermarket vouchers for Summer holidays
J is mum to four lovely children. She budgets well and her partner works as many hours as he can but it's difficult to get by even so. The council used to give out supermarket vouchers to help parents get through the summer holidays whilst children don't receive free school meals, however this Summer, the scheme will not take place. J is left with little to get through and a lot of extra meals to find. A supermarket voucher for food would ensure J has breathing room and the kids can have a great summer.
