Where the money goes:
Children from struggling families receive free school meals during term-time, so they
have at least one hot meal a day during the week.
But during the holidays they’re going hungry or could be eating unhealthy, processed
foods. Initiatives driven by community groups, schools, sports clubs and small local
charities try to fill the gap by providing food and activities - and it’s these that Cash
for Kids Day funds will support.
£6 could provide drinks, snacks and a meal at a holiday club for one child a day
£12 could provide a day’s experience and a hot meal for a child
£52 could provide a place at a five-day sports club with breakfast and lunch
