Local charities in the Forest of Dean started the free school meals project in a bid to tackle food poverty. Five secondary schools were involved and were each given 20 hampers filled with cupboard goods and stationery. Deputy headteacher Emily Smith at Dean Academy said it was a relief to be able to support students when they were not able to rely on school meals.
