Greater Manchester Restaurants Serving Free School Meals This Half Term
After the UK government announced that it would not be putting any procedures into place to support the free school meals scheme for this October half term, businesses in Greater Manchester have chosen to lend a hand to help those in need. In the world we currently find ourselves in right now, the community spirit and support shown by these Manchester restaurants is all the more meaningful.
These Manchester businesses are standing in solidarity with Marcus Rashford's child food poverty campaign to make sure no child goes hungry this half term.
