Back to school
It is back to school time again and again, it is vitally important that children get free school meals during term-time.
As getting universal credit or other low-income benefits is one of the key ways to be eligible, Hertfordshire's Money Advice Unit (MAU) has now got three major additions to its web-pages – www.hertfordshire.gov.uk/benefits.
A free and simple-to-use benefit and budgeting calculator
A short 30-40 minute self-teaching guide to Universal Credit
A link to the Healthy Start voucher scheme, to get free milk, fruit, vegetables and vitamins for pre-school children
For more information about school meals themselves, and to apply for free school meals , visit www.hertfordshire.gov.uk/freeschoolmeals.
