Parents who qualify for free school meals in England have been given the choice between receiving food parcels or vouchers. There has been criticism over the content of some parcels after one parent took to Twitter to show people what she had received.
This food box is appealing and day light robbery. Parents are meant to be given £30 of food but this must be worth £5. The reason food handouts rarely work is that people can usually buy better, more and food they likely when they are empowered with the vouchers and money. https://t.co/1aTB5Yf54s
