This autumn, hundreds of thousands of parents have signed up to receive free school meals for the first time. As millions of families face a furlough cliff-edge and more families face tighter restrictions, October half term comes at a particularly hard time for many (1/5)
I promise to continue campaigning to #endchildfoodpoverty on a local & national level. Where the Government has allowed children to go hungry, there will continue to be a number of incredible organisations locally that come forward to provide support where the Govt hasn’t 👇
#LondonsCommunityKitchen 🍅 have a highly impressive operation, serving thousands of people every week - anyone can turn up to The Bridge next to Harrow Leisure Centre (no referral needed)
@140Harrow on Vaughan Road 🌳 run a free food shop on Monday, Wednesday and Friday between 9:30AM and 10:30AM for essential food and toiletries (no referral needed)
During half term, North Harrow’s @redcupcafeuk ☕️ will provide a free packed lunch to families in need of support - get in contact: eat@redcupcafe.co.uk
