SCHOOLCHILDREN in London are sharing their lunch with friends so they don’t have to go hungry, a student campaigner has told the Morning Star.
Phoebe Stott, 16, who lives in the south-east London borough of Lewisham, says she often shares her lunch with friends who are not eligible for free school meals.
The sixth form student says she is seeing the devastating impact of food poverty in her school amid the cost-of-living crisis, with some students forced to ask their peers in the canteen for money to buy snacks or go without food completely.
