<p>We do not know the number of children that will not benefit from the funding for
free school meals (FSM) and activities during the 2019 summer holidays. This would
depend on how many children in the funded areas choose to take up the offer of free
holiday provision.</p><p>Our 2019 programme will take place in 11 local authority
areas. It will enable us to test the effectiveness of a model of local coordination
of free holiday club provision. We are carrying out an independent evaluation of this
programme and will publish the results of this, including information on attendance.</p>
