The scheme supports families in receipt of certain benefits, specifically helping pregnant and breastfeeding mums, and children under the age of four. Eligible families can also use their card to collect Healthy Start vitamins to support mothers during pregnancy and breastfeeding as well as vitamin drops for babies and young children – these are suitable from birth to 4 years old.
