The Healthy Start scheme offers eligible people a pre-paid card to go towards the cost of certain types of milk, infant formula, fruit and vegetables for the value of:
- £4.25 each week of pregnancy from the 10th week
- £8.50 each week for children from birth to 1 year old
- £4.25 each week for children between 1 and 4 years old
Beneficiaries can also get free vitamins with their card. In B&NES, these are currently available at Children’s Centres.
Note that the digital pre-paid card has replaced Healthy Start vouchers. For more information, view: https://www.healthystart.nhs.uk/
