This national campaign calls on all everyone in the UK to support one cause. We regularly work together on 'partnership' activities and with the holidays approaching our focus is on vulnerable UK children facing food insecurities this summer.

Story

There are 1.3 million children registered for free school meals in the UK who rely on these daily nutritional meals supplied by their schools. Whilst this provision supports many children UNICEF reported in 2017 that one in three children in the UK are in multi-dimensional poverty, with one in five children suffering from food insecurity. Whilst these statistics show that there are so many vulnerable children in need in the UK, the recent school closures and lock down procedures for Covid-19 have meant that these free school meals have not been as accessible. The Food Foundation estimates that 200,000 UK children are skipping meals due to families not being able to access food and that an estimated 325,000 of the 1.3 million children registered for free school meals have had no support since school closures were announced. Around 4 million UK children now live in families that cannot afford to follow the government guidelines for a healthy diet. The first public report of this data

When ACS International Schools started in 1967, so did our commitment to provide high quality international education and to positively impact the communities we serve. Over 50 years on, while trends in education come and go, our founding principles remain. They’re at the heart of everything we do. In 2018, we became a UK-registered charity and ACS International Schools In America Inc. a 501(c)(3) non-profit organisation, was established in the US. ACS has already invested over £1m in means-tested bursary places, providing opportunities for students to benefit from an ACS education and, in turn, enriching our community. In our next 2020-21 academic year, over 40 students will benefit from bursary places. In addition to the significant sums we already commit, we also invest in campus facilities to enhance our students’ learning and support for teaching excellence.
