According to Welsh Government figures, 85,731 pupils aged between five and 15 years old can access free school meals. During lockdown, each child gets £19.50 per week instead -as a voucher, direct payment or a food parcel.
The quality of these food hampers has come under fire after a mother posted a picture on Twitter of her family parcel which was mean't to be £30 worth of food but instead looked like £5 worth.
On this episode of Mondays with Monde I will be joined by Riley Scott, 19-year-old from Cwmbran - who used to receive free meals when in school and spoke about this issue.
