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 Easter 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 Easter Holiday voucher links will be sent on Saturday 30 March 2024. They may take until 9pm to arrive:
- Via email from vouchers@wonde.com
- Via text from 'SchoolMeals'
The Easter voucher has a value of £30 per child. You can choose from 11 different supermarkets.
Any children who become eligible up until 12 April 2024 will also receive vouchers.
You must claim your voucher by 3pm on 12 April 2024.
If you have previously received these vouchers, you do not need to apply.
