The Mayor of London has written to advise:
"We know it can be particularly challenging for families, parents and carers to afford increased costs over the summer holidays, which is why the Government’s announcement of a COVID Summer Food Fund was welcome following the tireless efforts of charities and campaigners as well as Marcus Rashford’s support.
In order to receive support through the COVID Summer Food Fund over the summer holidays, eligible children must be registered for Free School Meals by Friday 10 July.
