4.3 million children in the UK are living in poverty, and many of these children regularly go without healthy meals.

When the school gates close, many children lose more than lessons — they lose access to food, safety, and routine.

That’s where Meals & More steps in. By bringing communities together, they help ensure children have access to healthy meals, enriching activities, and safe spaces during the school holidays — when access to free school meals is not available and support is needed most.

Since 2015, Meals & More have grown from four clubs to over 400 nationwide, supporting the provision of more than 2.5 million meals through trusted partners.

They believe every child matters and deserves a good start in life, not only at school but all year round. As need continues to grow, the ambition is clear: to help provide one million meals every year by 2030.

You can help make this possible — support our team taking on the London Landmarks Half Marathon by donating, fundraising, or sharing our page. Every action helps feed a child’s future.

£13.50 – provides one healthy meal for 10 children during the school holidays

£40.50 – provides one healthy meal for 30 children during the school holidays

£135.00 – provides one healthy meal for an entire club (based on an average club size of 100 children)* during the school holidays

*Club sizes vary, so this amount covers a full club of around 100 children for one day; smaller clubs require less.
