StarKist® Partners with Feed the Children and Cornerstones for Fourth Annual Summer Food and Resource Rally in Northern Virginia
- The government announced a £1 billion package expanding free school meals to all families claiming Britain's main benefit starting autumn 2026.
- This expansion addresses persistent concerns about child poverty and ongoing demands to remove the benefit restriction that limits payments to families with more than two children, a policy introduced in 2017.

- The package is expected to lower child poverty by about 100,000 and set groundwork for a deeper child poverty strategy due later this year.
