There are approximately 9000 families on free school meals that we know of in the borough. That works out as about £5.50....... Not that we expect more from Barnet Council...... 9000 at the moment I will add in this uncertain time. Come on you can do better.

Wow

brent.gov.uk/council-news/o… One of our neighbour boroughs who have a similar number of children. They estimate it will cost 150k.... Barnet are offering 50k

"The Council is going beyond those children just in receipt of free school meals, recognising that Covid-19 has made affording food for many families more difficult. The Council hopes this will help up to 6,800 families, with 13,000 children."

Last night dozen's joined us at an emergency meeting led by Stop School Cuts - BARNET, Barnet NEU and the people of Barnet to discuss campaign ideas to ensure children are fed during the holidays. If you're keen for updates or want to help campaign, sign up here: forms.gle/W79AgNRWYVb2qE…

theguardian.com/football/2020/… More support for Barnet @MesutOzil1088. Shame our council is not doing more to make sure EVERY child is fed over half term and beyond. #ENDCHILDFOODPOVERTY #MarcusRashford

In protest of Theresa Villiers voting against the extension of funding for free school meals over October and December holidays, we invite you/your children to decorate a paper plate to express how you feel and post it to her. Please send us photos of your designs
