Match funding announced: every pound you donate will be doubled by our local match funder!

When term finishes, so do Free School Meals for eligible children. For some families, the 7 week long summer holiday can be a difficult time to make ends meet. In Bristol and the South West, children are at risk of going hungry once the safety net of school support is removed.    

The extra strain of paying for activities during the holidays, as well as child care for working parents can be difficult. The effects of Holiday Hunger go well beyond the holidays, with children arriving back at school for the new term undernourished, tired and unable to concentrate in class. 

We want to make sure that children in Bristol and the South West have access to good food to fuel a fun summer.

 Help us to do more.

  To combat the issue of Holiday Hunger, FareShare South West will be working with schools, projects, children's centres and charities across the region to provide nutritious food for children. These projects will be putting on fun activities for children throughout the holidays, as well as serving up healthy, hearty meals to the kids that take part.  

  Please help us raise much-needed funds to help children in need get the holiday they deserve.

Every little helps make a big difference and thanks to the generosity of our local match funder every pound you donate will be matched!

£7 could enable us to provide 28 meals for children at a summer project.

£12 could enable us to provide lunch for one child on every day of the school holidays.

£30 could enable us to provide breakfast for 24 children for a whole week.   

 Donate what you can today and help us #ActiveAte the school holidays this summer.
