Story

#NoChildHungry

This half term, Transforming Exercise & Nutrition LTD want to do our bit to help 🖤

There are many local children who will be going hungry this half term, since the Government is no longer providing vouchers for children in poverty for free school meals during school holidays...

So, our TEN coaches and many of our TEN participants will be taking part in a 450 burpee challenge from Monday 26th October - Sunday 1st November! 

That’s 1 burpee for every child registered with Colchester Food Bank!

We are doing this with the aim to try and raise £450 in total for Colchester FoodBank and to also encourage local people to donate some much needed food to the charity 💫

Did you know that a third of those in crisis that Colchester FoodBank feeds are children? 2020 has already been their busiest year ever. 

As Colchester's Bishop Roger Morris from the Diocese of Chelmsford says in his keynote speech, child poverty should already be history. No child in our nation should be starving. 

Here’s the details of Colchester FoodBank’s website, if you’d like to drop off a food parcel in place of a sponsorship:

Finally, please do ask your MPs to help and if possible sign the petition asking the Government to support vulnerable children; #endchildfoodpoverty by implementing 3 recommendations from the National Food Strategy to expand access to Free School Meals, provide meals; activities during holidays to stop holiday hunger; increase the value of and expand the Healthy Start scheme.
