Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

The kids at Alyth along with their parents thought it would be a great idea to make a video singing along to the very catchy Baked Potato song by Matt Lucas to help raise money for #FEEDNHS. This will be a video the kids can look back on and remember a time when they couldn't see their friends but found a way to help others and had fun doing it! 

FEED NHS has been raising as much money as they can to help feed NHS workers one healthy meal each day. They started in the hardest hit London hospitals and with the help of their coalition partners they’ve now taken it nationwide.

Some of these front line workers are working in nonstop shifts in hot and exhausting PPE often unable to return home to family , but instead self-isolating in nearby accommodation and with cafes and restaurants closed there is nowhere for them to eat. At the moment FEED NHS and their partners are together delivering 40,000 meals a day to 88 hospitals across the country but to continue, they need your money. Why? Because they are a not for profit coalition. No one is making money from this. In fact, it’s you, YES YOU! that’s actually paying for these meals. You, the British public are feeding the Frontline and they thank you from the bottom of their hearts.

So, who is this coalition?

Leon and its CEO John Vincent led with the initiative for this whole campaign from the start. You MUST have had the delicious chicken aioli at least once.

Baxter Storey  provides hospitality services to businesses across the UK . With a background of creating fresh, nutritious food its teams have been volunteering their time to work from specially opened kitchens across the UK. From making scones for paramedics in Newcastle to providing over 7,000 plant protein meals to London hospitals and producing 1,500 free meals a day to hospital staff across Edinburgh and the Lothians, they have ensured NHS staff and key workers have access to fresh food.

Mealforce is providing nutritious, fresh meals ,daily, to NHS frontline workers through a coalition of organisations. Brilliantly, they have formed a partnership with Manchester United football club who  are now providing 60,000 meals from their kitchens.

Feed Our Frontline  is a coalition of UK restaurants and food providers who have joined forces to support the NHS during the coronavirus crisis. They provide delicious meals and produce to our heroic hospital staff, completely free of charge to the NHS. Their service runs on goodwill and essential costs, which are in turn covered by generous donations from you to the Feed NHS campaign.
