'The most heartbreaking struggle is that of the parents and carers who are struggling to feed themselves as well as their children.'
Stigma in accessing food during the summer holidays can have a lasting negative impact on children and families struggling to put food on the table, it has been claimed.
Bailie Sharon Greer said: “Sadly today in our city, over a third of our children live in poverty. Despite the best of intentions, child poverty now sits at its highest level. “It is for that reason the holiday programme here in Glasgow and Club 365 in North Lanarkshire and other programmes across the country are really important and are praised by parents and carers.
Councillor Greer went on to say that stigma in accessing food during holiday periods could be “completely destructive” to the kids themselves. The Labour and Green amendment agreed that the council would recommit itself to removing stigma from potential food provision. Baillie Carol also said the council needed to be made aware if the funding would be made available in future years so the council could factor it into future budgets.
