Many families are struggling to put food on the table at this time; the number of children eligible for free school meals has risen by 42% since lockdown in March 2020. The Chomp Project specifically supports these children. During lockdown we delivered over 1200 food boxes to families who were struggling - that's 450 children. With schools shutting and food provision uncertain during half term, and up until Christmas, the struggle for these families continues.
We want to continue to support these families by a range of activities and initiatives, including hot meals and activity sessions (much reduced to ensure Covid-safe), vouchers, food boxes etc.
If you would like to know how much to contribute £15 would be a good start!
Thank you!
