Parents and carers, whose children qualify for free school meals in Glasgow, will be getting an extra payment this week.
The Winter Holiday Payment is worth £177.50 per child, for children in P1 to P6 who are eligible for free school meals.
While all children in P1 to P4 are able to get free school meals in Glasgow, it is only those who qualify on financial grounds who will receive the extra payment.

The cash is from the Scottish Government pandemic support package and is paid through Glasgow City Council.
The council said those who have previously received a payment and who currently get free school meals do not need to do anything, the cash will be paid into their bank account tomorrow, December 3.
Any new applicants who apply before December 3 will be paid the £177.50 from December 17.
The council says if people think they may qualify they should check on its website https://www.glasgow.gov.uk/schoolsandlearning
