🎬 Did you see our stunt outside @UKParliament this week?
Youth activists and #FeedtheFuture campaigners joined forces to highlight the fact 900,000 children living in poverty are missing out on #FreeSchoolMeals
And plead with MPs to end the postcode lottery: bit.ly/3LpLPln

It's fantastic that 287,000 more London primary school children have access to #FreeSchoolMeals 🙌
Now we want the govt to level the playing field and extend them to all students who need them — bb2030.co/KNUh #JoinTheJoyScroll

"This is something not just for Londoners, but actually that's really relevant for the whole school food system across the country."

🙌 Hats off @MayorofLondon & other local leaders/councils for prioritising children & recognising the superpowers of #FreeSchoolMeals
We now need national action to ensure every child has equal access to at least one hot meal a day at school, no matter where they live!

It's not just #London primary schools though! Across England, many authorities are taking matters into their own hands.
Some London boroughs are providing #FSM to older children. Other areas are also extending access, with pilots from #York to #Stockport

🧵 As children return to school it's exciting that 287,000 more primary school pupils across #London will be able to receive #FreeSchoolMeals
This stops stigma, supports with the #costofliving & makes sure all youngsters have equal opportunity to learn, grow and thrive.

Some of the most deprived parts of the population would need to spend 50% of their disposable income on food to meet the cost of a Govt-recommended healthy diet.

This stat BLEW OUR MINDS 🤯
Advertising works — that's why giant food companies spend millions on it.
Why are we not using advertising to put healthy food in the spotlight? Just imagine how much of a win for child health that would be!

Fundamental to breaking down barriers in opportunity is ensuring children aren't too hungry to learn.
We urge @Keir_Starmer & @UKLabour to recognise expansion of #FreeSchoolMeals as a vital investment in children's future, that helps prepare them for work & life.

.@Keir_Starmer & @UKLabour want to "break the pernicious link between where you start in life & where you finish" because "far too many children are still limited by the earnings of their parents rather than their own potential & talent." So end means testing on food? 1/3
"Why will Labour nationally not commit to free school meals for all primary school kids?" @JustinOnWeb asks Sir Keir Starmer.
There's a 'healthy debate' on the issue, the Labour leader says, adding 'we've set out our position, which is breakfast clubs for every child'.
