The SDC in the Community society are raising funds for Fit and Fed clubs operating in and around the Sheffield area.
Childhood poverty is increasing all over the UK, with 1 in 3 young people now in serious danger of malnutrition. For those most at risk, the school holidays often present the greatest challenge, with 3 million children currently facing the triple threat of holiday hunger, inactivity and isolation.
Launched in 2016, the StreetGames Fit and Fed campaign works to tackle food poverty in disadvantaged areas. Delivered via a network of like-minded organisations - charities and sports providers based in the heart of these neighbourhoods - the campaign offers a mix of filling meals, fun activities and engaging social opportunities within their communities.
This fundraising initiative by Sport Development with Coaching students supports the University's commitment to engaging with its local communities to improve the quality of life in the region.
