The Greggs Foundation, the independent charity associated with Greggs, is supporting Meals & More, the national chairity founded by foodservice provider Brakes, with a grant of £28,500.
Since its launch in 2015, Meals & More has supported over 2.5 million meals at holiday clubs across the UK.
The grant from the Greggs Foundation will support clubs based in the north-east, north-west, south-west, Yorkshire and Scotland.
“Greggs Foundation is delighted to be supporting Meals & More,” said Greggs Foundation manager Tracy Lynch. ”The charity has made amazing strides over the past few years to help reach children and young people dealing with issues related to food insecurity.”
”Its ethos and mission align closely with our own, to help ensure food is at the heart of the communities in which we serve. We will be working with Meals & More in the provision of breakfast or afternoon supper at clubs which will have a positive impact on alleviating hunger and supporting children and families during the school holiday periods.”
Meals & More operations director Peter McGrath added: “The need for support in many communities is growing. The leadership and team at Greggs Foundation are clearly passionate about our cause and their support will assist us in reaching even more children.
“The additional resource will assist many clubs in providing an additional meal be it at breakfast or prior to going home.”
