As the cost of living continues to increase, cafes, restaurants and supermarkets are offering free or cheaper meals to children during the October half term in West Yorkshire.

This week many children across the region have broken up for half term. However, some parents are concerned about how they are going to feed their children with the rising cost of food, energy and fuel bills.

To tackle holiday hunger, some of the country's biggest retailers are offering free or cheap meals for children.
