Despite the UK government voting against funding school meals during the half term holidays, Bristol Mayor Marvin Rees has said the city will be “stepping up” to “make sure our children are fed”.

Bristol will come together to ensure our children are fed next week

Despite government not stepping up to support our most vulnerable children, we'll continue our partnership w/ @FeedingBristol & @FareShareSW to once again provide a safety net for #Bristol families #WeAreBristol pic.twitter.com/aSqdSPGszF
