Join us for the next event in the Young Fabians series ‘The Welfare State We’re In’.

We will be sharing an evening with the world renowned economic think tank, Institute of Fiscal Studies (IFS), examining eligibility to Free School Meals and its interaction with Universal Credit.

Since April 2018, changes have been introduced as to who is and isn't eligible for free school meals. Eligibility for free school meals from Year Three is linked to benefits - and the system of calculating and claiming benefits is changing. Campaigners say it will effect up to a million children who will now no longer be entitled.

‘The Welfare State We’re In’ series is part of the Young Fabians’ commitment to partnering with thought leaders and giving our members the opportunity to challenge and influence policymakers.

We look forward to welcoming you then.
