What will expanded free school meals in England mean for families? Parents whose children will be newly eligible told us: 'They're going to be eating the same [as their friends]. They're going to be much… closer. They're not going to be odd ones.' 1/5

Wider eligibility for free school meals in England will give hard-up families some badly-needed breathing space. But our new analysis shows the government has left the job half done. With so many families struggling, it must ensure children get what little help is available.

Brilliant news! #VagrancyAct – at Hackney, London
Crisis@crisis_ukJun 29
We fought together, and we won. The Vagrancy Act has finally been scrapped. For 200 years, this archaic law made it a crime to sleep rough or beg in England and Wales. Together, we proved that when we speak out and work together, change is possible.
