    Situation

    School Holidays is a time when we unfortunately see a rise in referrals. The Safety net of Breakfast Clubs and Free School Meals is out of commission and many deprived children are struggling with hunger. Holidays should be a time for children to revive and rejuvenate themselves, and infuse them with energy to continue learning and growing; and not anxiety and hunger.

    Solution

    Nurture young Hopes will halt holiday dread in children. We want to expand on our current breakfast clubs and provide the most important meal of the day during school holidays too.This will satiate children`s hunger and provide them with essential nutrients to enable them to enjoy their holiday. A satisfying morning meal will reduce cheap snacking and thus avoid binging and resulting obesity.It will also bring happy structure to children from dysfunctional homes during holiday mornings.
