'There is a constant fear of running out of something': A mum explains why free school meals are a lifeline

hereTwo of her children are eligible for free school meals, and she says that if the vouchers hadn't continued over the summer, she did not know what she was going to do.In March, just before lockdown started, she had a change in her circumstances, and had to apply for a new Universal Credit claim.Although she was given a two week grace period, she had to start the claim in April.Due to the length of time it takes to process, she spent five weeks with virtually nothing coming in. She says school meal vouchers have been a 'godsend' because without them, she would have had just £48 a week - £10 of which goes straight onto her electricity meter - to cover everything for herself and the three children."There was no way we could have done it
