Healthy Start Campaign Helps Preganant Women & Children Under 4

Download Healthy Start LeafletHealthy Start is the Department of Health's new scheme to help pregnant women and children under four in low-income families eat healthily.

The Healthy Start scheme provides everyone who qualifies with vouchers which can be used to buy milk, fresh fruit, fresh vegetables and infant formula. You can also get free vitamin supplements. The Healthy Start scheme replaces the Welfare Food Scheme which provided milk tokens.

Under Healthy Start:

  • if you’re pregnant, you get one voucher a week worth £3.10
  • for each baby under the age of one, your family gets two vouchers a week worth a total of £6.20
  • for each child aged over one and under four, your family gets one voucher a week worth £3.10.
