Our journey began in the summer of 2018 with our very first school holiday family lunch. Today, we are supporting over 300 local families with our larders and hygiene hub, whilst continuing to offer school holiday lunches with activities for children, special events such as cookery lessons and lunches for individuals and couples who are not able to benefit from our family lunches.
