Healthy Start Scheme - NHS

Healthy Start helps give your family the very best start in life. If you’re more than 10 weeks pregnant or have a child under 4, you may be entitled to get help to buy healthy food and milk.

 

If you’re eligible, you’ll be sent a Healthy Start card with money on it that you can use in some UK shops. We’ll add your benefit to this card every 4 weeks.

 

You can use your card to buy plain liquid cow's milk, fresh, frozen and tinned fruits and vegetables, fresh, dried and tinned pulses, and infant formula milk based on cow's milk. You can also use your card to collect Healthy Start vitamins or vitamins for babies and young children.
