Story

As you are probably aware, 322 MP’s voted to stop providing school children with free meals over the school holidays. This doesn’t sit right with us here at TGA and therefore we have decided to work with FareShareUK to organise a fundraiser.

As a team, we have decided to virtually run the distance from John o’ Groats to Land’s End (1,407km) in 1 week starting 23rd Nov. We kindly ask for any donations (no matter how big or small) which will go towards providing meals for those who would have qualified for free school meals. In addition, if we reach our target of £2,500 a few of the lads have promised to shave their heads.

Even now the government have reversed their decision and will provide meals during school holidays, there are many families struggling in this current pandemic and these meals only go so far to help them. We don't believe children should go to bed starving and wake up the next day not knowing if they're going to eat. Help us make a difference.


Thank you
