Campaign for Universal Free School Meals
Members of the LA Executive were proud to attend last week’s Food4Thought campaign event at the Scottish Parliament, organised by the STUC and others, which called on the Scottish Government to implement universal free school meals for all pupils. The testimony of young people about why this is so important was particularly powerful. Please go to https://food4thought.uk/get-involved to find a link to a petition to the First Minister, template letters to MSPs, and other ideas for how you can support this vital campaign.
