Free meals for kids during school holidays

The council is ensuring that regular meals are provided for all children and young people within the borough during school holidays. Food is served at multiple locations across the borough, and there's no age limit for children, meaning that nutritious meals are readily available and families continue to receive support outside of school term time.

Free activities are also on offer so there will always be something to do with the kids. Sport coaches will be on hand to run fun fitness and active play sessions too at Adventure Play Centres. 

Meals are available Monday to Wednesday during the break, as Thursday and Friday are bank holidays.

How to apply for free school meals beyond school holidays

To get free school meals, your child must attend a school within the Royal Borough of Greenwich. If your child attends a school in another borough you will need to apply to the relevant council or school directly.
