Once again child poverty is on the new and how parents are unable to feed their children and them selves.

With so many family services clothing and Covid 19 on the rise it is not like you can even knock a friends or family door for something like a cup of sugar.

One thing that I believe need to be done is that people need to clearly know how much their income and experiences are so that they can clear budget them selves.

With winter just around the corner more of use will be spending money on heating our homes and lighting, not just food and other key times or bills.

Many people today are also forced into the rental market and are paying more in rent than what you would for a mortgage.

I am still a strong believer that everyone with children under 5 should be given healthy start vouchers.

You can also look at applying for the Big Different Scheme.

I also believe that any child of school age under the age of Seven should be given a free school meal, if the school is closed then that should still continue. I believe that every child can claim this up until the end of Year 2 at school.
