Determined not to let any child go hungry this Christmas Wantage Town Council decided to fund free school meal vouchers for more than 400 school children. After the Government revealed it would not be providing vouchers over the Christmas break, the council decided to go ahead to provide extra help in these difficult times. Wantage Town Council have joined forces with local Lib Dem County Councillors Jenny Hannaby and Jane Hanna to give all children who are registered to get free school meals food vouchers. Each child registered for free school meals is entitled to £30 for the two-week Christmas period. The funding will cover two primary schools, one secondary school and a special needs school in Wantage plus two primary schools in Grove. Fitzwaryn Special School, Stockham Primary and King Alfred’s Academy have been provided with the funds for the vouchers.
