Feb 2024 Half Term FSM Food Vouchers

Published: 31 January 2024

We are aiming to ensure schools have their allocation of food voucher codes for the Feb 2024 half term break, no later than Friday 9th February 2024.

The voucher codes will have a face value of £30. This is double the normal value as we recognise families face increased financial pressures in the colder months with rising energy costs.

We’ll allocate the number of voucher codes to each school, based on the last FSM numbers we confirmed with you in December.

The voucher codes are for those children who have confirmed FSM eligibility.

If you need additional voucher codes after you’ve received your codes, please email businessupporthub@derby.gov.uk requesting the additional number of voucher codes needed.

Please can you remind parents who received a voucher for the Christmas break that they need to be activated and redeemed by 1st March 2024 or they will expire and can’t be replaced.

We would strongly recommend you keep a record of which voucher codes have been issued to each family as this will aide any queries raised.

As yet we don’t know if the government will be supporting another Household Support Fund into another financial year. If not, this may be the last time FSM holiday vouchers are issued. It’s unlikely we’ll know if there is to be a continuation HSF5 until mid to late March 2024.

Thank you for your continued help in distributing these voucher codes.
