School holiday vouchers
If your child gets free school meals because of your benefits, you can get help with food during the school holidays.
From October 2025 to March 2026:
- you can apply online for one food voucher per child to cover all the school holidays during this time
- each voucher is worth £15 per child for each week of the holidays
- you can also ask for a Winter Coat Voucher when you apply for the holiday food voucher
- you cannot apply for the Winter Coat Voucher on its own
Applications for this scheme are now closed.
The application window for school holiday vouchers has ended and no further vouchers will be issued.
All eligible families who applied have received vouchers covering the Autumn and Winter school terms.
