A ‘disappointing’ decision to stop giving Glasgow primary children free fruit in the morning has been criticised by a councillor.
A ‘disappointing’ decision to stop giving Glasgow primary children free fruit in the morning has been criticised by a councillor who pointed out some pupils relied on it for “breakfast".
The provision of the extra snack ended in March this year, after it began as a pilot under Covid recovery measures in October 2021. Councillor Christina Cannon, SNP, said uptake was “inconsistent” and fruit went to waste when asked by councillor Jill Brown why the pilot has been “discontinued.” Labour councillor Brown said that information did not tally with feedback received and she had heard “children were waiting” on the fruit being delivered.
She said: “At a time when the cost of fresh fruit is rising this was for many children one of few if any opportunities to be able to access fruit. Really disappointing that it is not being prioritised. ”meeting that sometimes children were “relying on it for breakfast” and claimed school meal sizes are decreasing.
