Government scheme criticised for leaving families without support for two weeks of the summer holiday

is well regarded, but critics say it is too limited. It provides £220m in funding for free holiday activities and a meal – to children eligible for and in receipt of free school meals – for at least four hours a day, four days a week, six weeks a year. It runs for four weeks in the summer and a week in each of the Easter and Christmas holidays.

KateGreenSU Note to self Ms Green. They're NOT free. Paid for by us, the taxpayers. They receive Universal Credit, Child tax allowance, Child Benefit, Housing Benefit. I'm sick of paying for other people's children.

Well, they wouldn’t be disadvantaged if they weren’t losing out now would they? Greedy pigs, poor children.
