Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, if he will provide a list of the organisations in Nottinghamshire that have been allocated funding for breakfast or lunch clubs over school holiday periods in each of the last five years.

Earlier this year, we announced a programme of research and pilots to explore ways of supporting children from disadvantaged families to access free enrichment activities and healthy food during school holidays.

This summer we awarded £2 million to seven organisations that supported programmes of free food and activities for disadvantaged children around the country. We have not published a list of the individual clubs and locations. However, a number of clubs were operating in Nottinghamshire as part of the 2018 pilot programme. They operated in the following locations: Bingham Children’s Centre and the Lifespring Church in New Ollerton.

We will use the data and the information gathered during the 2018 pilots to help shape our plans for 2019, which will be announced later this year.
