NHS Healthy Start

5th October 2022

Get help to buy healthy food and milk

The scheme is designed to help families access fruit, vegetables and milk, worth £220 a year. Families who use NHS Healthy Start can also access free vitamins.

If you are more than 10 weeks pregnant or have a child under four years old, and are in receipt of certain benefits, you could be entitled to a Healthy Start prepaid card worth £4.25 per week, to spend on healthy food and milk. Previous voucher recipients must re-apply to continue getting help.

If you are entitled to Healthy Start, you will also get free vitamins designed to help pregnant and breastfeeding women and growing children.
