The council will be funding more than 47,000 free sessions at more than 70 locations across Lambeth under the Summer of Food and Fun programme.

Councillor Ben Kind, Lambeth’s Cabinet Member for Children and Young People, said: “Given the cost-of-living crisis and the ongoing recovery from Covid-19, the council is determined to offer a programme that helps support families and looks after all aspects of children’s wellbeing.
“Across this year’s spring, summer, and winter school holidays £1.3 million is being invested in providing free healthy food and enriching activities for children and young people. The main aim to offer places to children receiving Free School Meals, with places also available for children living in households with a lower income.”
Lambeth Council was awarded funding by the Department of Education to deliver the successful Summer of Food & Fun for the second summer in a row.
