A free meals scheme is returning this summer to support children and families during the school holidays.
Fife Council’s Café Inc will run from July 6 to August 14, offering meals to children while schools are closed.
The scheme provides free tasty, healthy meals across Fife with no booking is required.
Councillor Linda Erskine, the council’s strategic spokesperson for communities, said: "I’m aware that there is still a lot of pressure on families over the school holidays, and sadly people continue to be squeezed by the cost-of-living crisis.
"It’s a very sad fact that during school holidays many children in Fife go hungry.
"I can’t accept that children should go hungry at any time and that’s why we, Fife Council, continue to run Café Inc.
"I sincerely hope that families with children take the opportunity to visit a venue in their area – not only to pick up a meal, but to stay and enjoy the company of friends and family in their community."
Meals are available while stocks last, and children under 10 must be accompanied by an adult.
Adults can also have a meal, subject to availability.
The service will be hosted at various schools and community venues across Fife, though it will not run on July 20 due to a public holiday.
A map of Café Inc locations is available at our.fife.scot/gethelp, which also lists other cost-of-living support services.
