Eligible families in Peterborough will be able to receive supermarket vouchers during school holidays. Vouchers will be sent automatically to families eligible for income-based support using school data and information held by the city council.
We will be continuing our Holiday Voucher Scheme for the May half-term holiday using funding from the Department for Work and Pensions via the Household Support Fund. It was announced that the Household Support Fund will be extended for a further six months.
The May half-term voucher links will be sent on 25 May 2024. They may take until 9pm to arrive:
- Via email from vouchers@wonde.com
- Via text from 'SchoolMeals'
The May half-term voucher has a value of £10 per child. You can choose from 11 different supermarkets.
Any children who become eligible up until 2 June 2024 will also receive vouchers.
You must claim your voucher by 3pm on 21 June 2024 or it will become invalid.
If you have previously received these vouchers, you do not need to apply.
Eligibility and how to apply
One supermarket voucher per eligible child for those families meeting the low income criteria for the following support:
