Healthy Start Scheme
Healthy Start is a Government Scheme to help buy healthy food and milk and collect vitamins if you’re more than 10 weeks pregnant or have a child under 4.
If eligible, you will be provided with a prepaid card with money on it that you can use in some UK shops and your benefits will be loaded onto the card every 4 weeks.
For more information about the scheme, visit the NHS Healthy Start website.
You can use your card to buy:
- Plain liquid cow's milk
- Fresh, frozen, and tinned fruit and vegetables
- Fresh, dried, and tinned pulses
- Infant formula milk based on cow's milk
