West Northumberland Foodbank - Holiday hunger

during the summer holidays some families face a constant struggle to
find enough money to feed their children.

In the North East, there are approximately 132,000 children living in poverty this equates to
around 24% of all children in the region

“39% of teachers say there are pupils in their school who do not get enough to eat over the school
holidays”

“75% of parents with an annual income less than £15,000 say that affording food during school
holidays is a constant struggle”

Holiday hunger appeal
In the last 6 months we have fed over 350 children. Many will get free school meals. Once the holidays start, families face a constant struggle to find enough money to feed their children.
Help us to help them this summer.
