Situation
8 million people struggle with food poverty in the UK, with 3 million children sleeping hungry over school holidays. These numbers have only increased in the aftermath of the pandemic where incomes have reduced for a lot of families and they have not been able to put food on the table. Malnutrition among children causes overall development damage, inability to cope at school, besides increasing social inequality among children.
Solution
In response to the growing problem in the UK, we run two programmes out of our Watford Kitchen: NOURISH TO FLOURISH: Serves freshly prepared, nutritious lunches to children via holiday clubs, council run holiday centres & community hubs across London boroughs. BEAT THE HUNGER: Serves freshly prepared, wholesome meals distributed at various locations 6 days/week all year. Using efficient kitchen technology, we are able to feed a healthy meal to a child with a donation of £1.25 & an adult for 70p
