NHS Healthy Start Scheme

If you're pregnant or have a child under the age of four, you may be eligible for support through the NHS Healthy Start Scheme.

The scheme helps eligible families with the cost of nutritious food and provides free vitamins to support a healthy pregnancy and your child's growth and development.

Good nutrition plays an important role in supporting your health during pregnancy and giving children a healthy start in life.

If you think you may be eligible, we encourage you to check what support is available.


What support is available?

Help with the cost of healthy food

Eligible families receive financial support towards essential foods, including fresh fruit, vegetables and milk, helping make healthy eating more affordable.

Free Healthy Start vitamins

The scheme also provides free vitamins for eligible pregnant women and young children. These include important nutrients such as folic acid and vitamin D, which support healthy pregnancies and early childhood development.

Who is eligible?

You may qualify for the Healthy Start Scheme if you are pregnant or have a child under four years old.

Eligibility depends on your individual circumstances, including certain benefits you may receive.
