1 in 3 children in Luton live in poverty - that’s over 16,000 children. When money is tight at home, a child might not have the uniform and equipment they need for school. They're unlikely to be able to do fun things in the school holidays and they're more likely to suffer with mental health problems and low self esteem. They can feel embarrassed about making friends because they feel different and the future can seem bleak. We help by giving them school shoes, uniform, coats, and learning resources as well as enriching holiday activities.
