Manchester United footballer Marcus Rashford MBE has been campaigning for free school meals to be extended into the school holidays recently.
The vote to provide children across the country with free meals was defeated in Parliament last week, so many local authorities and businesses across the country have taken it upon themselves to help in whatever way they can by handing out packages of food.
In Chesterfield, businesses and establishments are pulling together to make sure children in the town have something to eat during the half-term.
Here are the establishments in Chesterfield where children can get a free meal this week.
