Story

Thank you for visiting this page.

After the government rejected the extension of free school meals this half-term and over Christmas during this pandemic, we know it will push more families to food banks.

So we wanted to play our small part and help feed the most vulnerable in our city. Funds raised will be shared between food poverty charities Plymouth Foodbank and Provide Devon .

Government figures from before the pandemic show that over 9,000 children in Plymouth live in poverty. In places like Ernesettle and King's Tamerton, a troubling 32 per cent of children were estimated to be living in poverty in 2019. Marcus Rashford has highlighted the 250% recent increase in food poverty, and behind those statistics lie real families, real children, and real hungry tummies at bedtime.

Thank you for your support.
