 Help to buy healthy food
Help is available to low-income families receiving benefits to buy healthy food.
The NHS Healthy Start scheme provides eligible households with a pre-paid card, which can be used to buy items including cow’s milk, vegetables, fruit, pulses and infant formula milk.
As of December, only 53 per cent of eligible families in Wokingham Borough were using the scheme, resulting in at least £1,402.50 of healthy food not reaching those who need it every week.
If you qualify, you will receive the pre-paid card, which will be topped up every four weeks. You will receive £4.25 each week of your pregnancy from the tenth week of your pregnancy, £8.50 per week for children from birth to one year and £4.25 a week for children aged one to four. You can find out more about Healthy Start and apply online.
