THOUSANDS of children across Wales are at risk of going hungry in summer after the Welsh government decided to end free school meals support during holidays, Unison Cymru warned today.

The Welsh government blames lack of funding from Westminster for the decision, according to the union, which represents thousands of school support staff.

Unison Cymru branded it the “wrong choice” at a time when tens of thousands of working people “are trapped by low wages and high prices.”
