Can you help children lead fuller lives this summer?
For families facing hunger and hardship, the long summer holidays can mean anxiety and stress as they juggle the cost of childcare and activities with rising food costs. Children could be enjoying their summer holidays, instead of going to bed hungry or worrying about where their next meal is coming from. Right now in the UK, 2.7 million children live in food insecurity. At the same time, millions of tonnes of perfectly edible food go to waste each year.
While FareShare redistributes surplus food to thousands of youth clubs, after-school clubs and holiday clubs, during school holidays, demand for our food reaches its peak.
Making a real difference with Wigan Youth Zone
One of the many organisations we support is Wigan Youth Zone where children attending the holiday club receive hot, nutritious meals, thanks to food from FareShare. They have fun, make new friends and enjoy themselves, whilst reducing the financial burden families experience during the holidays.
Victoria, whose son attends the holiday club, said, “It’s a relief to know that he’s somewhere safe; he’s getting a nice hot meal every day and they keep him busy with all the activities.”
