This week, young Food Ambassador Dev Sharma hosts a very special panel discussion to celebrate the Government's announcement that free school meal eligibility will be expanded to all children in households on Universal Credit, lifting 100,000 children out of poverty, and giving access to a hot, healthy school lunch to around 500,000 more pupils.

Dev is joined on the panel Rushda, a 16-year-old Food Ambassador from Halifax, Dr Sam Rushworth, the MP for Bishop Auckland, and Reema Reid, Headteacher of Holydale Primary School in London.
