North Ayrshire Council will supply free lunches to young people during the summer break.
Throughout July, a healthy lunch will be provided to eligible children and young people of primary and secondary school age.
Families assessed as eligible for free school meals (based on low income) will also receive a direct cash payment for the entire summer holiday period, and these payments are made to parents and carers at the end of the current school term. This intervention is placing a further £75 into the pockets of those who need it most.
North Ayrshire Libraries staff will be assisting with the delivery of this year’s programme.
Packed lunches, including a drink, will be available weekdays from Monday 7 July until Friday 1 August and can be collected at the following council libraries across the different localities.
