Sustain, are running a campaign to raise awareness of the lack of take-up of Healthy Start vouchers.
These vouchers are available for pregnant mums and babies and can be used to buy fruit, vegetables, milk and infant formula.
An estimated £28.6m worth of the vouchers were missed out by low-income families in England and Wales during 2018, often because they just weren’t told about them.
With Healthy Start, you get free vouchers every week to spend on milk, plain fresh and frozen fruit and vegetables, and infant formula milk. You can also get free vitamins.
Pregnant or have children under the age of four? You could qualify if you're on benefits, or if you're pregnant and under 18.
