Christmas Holiday Lunch Scheme 2025

26 Nov 25

Reminder: Closing date will be Sunday, 7th December 2025.

Winchester food and basics bank are inviting families with school-aged children (who live or attend a school in the city of Winchester and some surrounding areas, including Alresford) who feel they need some extra help over the school holidays to register for their Holiday Lunch Scheme.

The aim of the scheme is to provide food to cover 5 lunches per child per week. Please note that the holiday lunch scheme is in addition to their normal operation, and does not count towards the number of standard vouchers you can receive. However, they ask that you don’t claim both during the same period of time. If you need more support, please register for a full food parcel for all the family – www.winchesterbasicsbank.co.uk/get-help

Families are also reminded that the deadline to enrol in the Christmas Holiday Lunch Scheme is Sunday, 7th December. Further information and the enrolment form can be found on the Winchester Basics Bank website:
