Manx Co-op stores accepting free school meal vouchers

Co-op stores across the Island will accept free school meal vouchers.

It comes following the news the scheme has been re-introduced - parents of children who normally receive free school meals will get vouchers to spend on groceries whilst schools remain closed.

The scheme sees eligible parents receive a one-off voucher to cover the three week period - equivalent in value to 15 free school meals.

It was previously stated this could just be used at any Shoprite store before the end of Jan, however it's since been announced this isn't the case.

Taking to social media - it's been confirmed Manx Co-ops will also accept the vouchers.
