Organisations, local authorities and charities are being invited to bid for a share of the funding to work in partnership and across regions for initial research during the 2018 summer holidays.
This will be followed by a targeted pilot programme in the 2019 Easter and summer holidays.
Education minister Nadhim Zahawi said, ‘I encourage charities and expert organisations across the country to apply to take part in this exciting programme to help us better understand children’s current access to healthy meals and enriching activity during the school holidays.
‘We want every child to reach their potential and healthy meals and activities can contribute to their development and improved attainment.’
