Over 900 children in Stockport are being provided with free school meals thanks to a council-run scheme.

The Stockport Council School Meal Support Scheme will enable families who are not eligible for nationally funded free school meals to claim a paid-for meal for their children.

Support is available to children aged between seven and 18 years old attending an education setting during the 2023/24 academic year whose parents or carers are in receipt of local council tax support and/or housing benefit.

Cllr Jilly Julian, cabinet member for Finance and Resources at Stockport Council, said: ‘The council’s School Meal Support Scheme has been designed with our residents in mind, and means that hundreds more families are able to access paid-for meals during term time.

‘We know that back to school time puts an additional strain on families already struggling financially, so I hope that the School Meal Support Scheme will help to make a difference to many of our residents. It’s just one of the ways that the council is looking to support the people of Stockport during this difficult economic time.’
