Support for #FeedtheFuture growing across political & business spectrum. Great to hear Richard Walker add his backing on BBC Radio 4 Today this morning & talk abt 'investing in children's ability to concentrate & learn' as a sensible strategy - listen again (scroll to 8.10am) 👇👇

Thanks to Kate Green 💙 & to @FeedingLpool & all MPs Kim Johnson MP lan Byrne MP Dan Carden MP Maria Eagle MP supporting new bill to automatically register eligible families for Healthy Start - much needed, alongside an expansion of eligibility & review of value in light of price rises.

It is astounding to me that not all children from low income families receive free school meals. Qualification only if annual household earning is less than £7400 (not inc bens) - this is the most restrictive eligibility threshold of all the UK

Leaders uniting across the religious spectrum from The Church of England bishops to MCB &@CaritasWestm to support #FeedtheFuture 's call for expansion of free school meals. Now we need leaders to unite across political spectrum too.
