Over the Christmas holidays, Stoke-on-Trent City Council will continue to provide food vouchers to parents/guardians for children across the city.

**Please DO NOT fill in this form if your child is at school or a school nursery in the city. Schools and nurseries will issue a voucher for eligible children. Please contact the school or nursery for help if you have not received a voucher by the start of the summer holiday**

Food vouchers are available for:

  • children with an Education and Health Care Plan
