Children in Walsall are being offered free winter meals and activities by the council.

The authority said its holiday activity and food (HAF) programme will run from 2 to 5 January and was asking people to register now.

It is available free of charge to children and young people aged from five to 16 years old and who are eligible for free school meals.

Parents can register on the council's website, it said.
