For too many young people, Summer Holidays can be a time of hardship, hunger and isolation, as families in under-served communities struggle to fund the added food and childcare costs the school holidays bring. 

Fit and Fed exists to plug that gap. Since its inception in 2016, the programme has benefited 66,198 children/young people, with a whopping 528,582 free meals being provided in this time. The Fit and Fed programme continues to be a lifeline for low income families, with summer activities taking place across England and Wales.  But in a post-Covid world there are still thousands of young people experiencing holiday hunger and are physically inactive and isolated. Now more than ever it is vital that programmes like Fit and Fed are there to give young people and their families the support they need, and to contribute to the nation’s recovery.  

We need your help to ensure this support is in place all year round.
