Healthy Start is an NHS scheme in England and Wales which provides supermarket vouchers to low-income families with children under four, to help them buy healthy basics like fruit, vegetables, milk and infant formula.

But despite the value of Healthy Start vouchers being boosted as a result of Marcus Rashford’s #ENDCHILDFOODPOVERTY campaign, the take-up of the vouchers by those eligible is dropping across England.

Despite food poverty increasing across the country, nearly half of those eligible for the vouchers aren’t receiving them – which means each week over £1 million worth of free food isn’t reaching the children who need it most.

In Enfield 47% of these vouchers are unclaimed.
This means £11,717.25 worth of food is not reaching those in the borough who need it.​
