Our Mission
Our mission is to provide support to children who live with poverty and social isolation and have limited access to adequate food provision and activity throughout school holiday periods. We have grown from supporting four clubs in 2015 to now partnering with over 40 UK charitable organisations and over 270 clubs. Meals & More has supported the delivery of over 2.1 million meals to date.
Meals & More is focused on developing sustainable working partnerships with registered charities to run fully inclusive holiday clubs that underpin our aims and makes a difference to each child we reach.
Meals & More is a catalyst for positive change, bringing likeminded people together, creating the opportunity to improve life chances, contributing to happier, healthier children and families. Through provision of nutritious food and enriching educational and physical activities, Meals & More partnerships contribute to supportive environments, boosting health, self-belief and aspirations.
We believe that every child matters and deserves a good start in life, not only at school but throughout the year.
Our Partners have a clear understanding of Meals & More aims and collective challenges. We embrace all opportunities to work with organisations and businesses that have similar goals and share our aspiration to make a difference.
“The proportion of households with children experiencing food insecurity increased from 12.1% in January to 17.2% in May 2022. This represents a total of 2.6 million children aged under 18 who live in households that do not have access to a healthy and affordable diet, putting them at high risk of suffering from diet-related diseases.
”
We encourage others to join our movement to eradicate holiday hunger and promote the necessity of adequate holiday provision by working with industry, government, local authorities, academia, schools and third sector delivery partners.
