With the children at home during the holidays, families will face financial pressure as they juggle the cost of childcare and activities alongside food.
Children should be enjoying their summer holidays, not worrying about where their next meal is coming from. Yet 2.7 million children in the UK are in food insecurity, while millions of tonnes of edible food goes to waste every year.
FareShare provides surplus food to thousands of after school and holiday clubs and other children’s charities. Our food doesn’t just feed people. In the summer holidays it can provide a gateway to other services and activities that help children play, have fun, and make friends.
Support FareShare to help children lead fuller lives this summer.
