Dumfries and Galloway Council is deeply saddened by the death of Councillor Archie Dryburgh MBE, a much-respected colleague who devoted many years of his life to public service and to the communities of Dumfries and Galloway.
Our council will provide a single payment of £25 per child to help cover the cost of meals while schools are closed from Monday 12 October 2026 to Friday 23 October 2026. This is available to all eligible families registered for Free School Meals on financial grounds. The payment covers 10 weekdays across the school holidays at a rate of £2.50 per day.
