Holiday Free School Meal Vouchers

Mon 06 Oct 2025

This October Half Term, Gloucestershire County Council will provide families in receipt of Free School Meals who sign up to this offer with vouchers to assist with food costs during the school holidays.

Families who have signed up to the scheme or who are already registered will receive a total of £15 per child for one week.

Families who have signed up previously do not need to re-register for the October Half Term holiday vouchers as they will already be included. However, please let Gloucestershire County Council know of any changes to your circumstances (e.g. if the number of children eligible increases or decreases).

If your child is eligible for free school meals and you have not previously applied for holiday free school meal vouchers, visit the holiday free school meal voucher webpage here: Holiday free school meal vouchers | Gloucestershire County Council

Using vouchers – vouchers will only be awarded once the parent has registered for the scheme and cannot be backdated. Vouchers should be used in the holiday period in which they are awarded. If vouchers are not claimed and have expired, they cannot be re-issued. Vouchers not received should be queried via the Microsoft Form HERE by the end of the holiday period.

Please note, vouchers now come from EVouchers.com. Please ensure you check your junk folder as the email address which issues the voucher will be different to previously.
