Healthy Start Scheme
Web: www.healthystart.nhs.uk
With Healthy Start, you can get free vouchers every week which you swap for milk, fresh fruit, fresh vegetables and infant formula milk. You can also get free vitamins. You could qualify if you're on benefits or you're pregnant and under 18.
The Healthy Start scheme replaced the Welfare Food scheme in 2006 and is run by the NHS.
