We Are
Give A Lunch
Only the very lowest income families get free school meals
About the Project
There are hundreds of thousands of families in our communities struggling to buy their children nutritionally balanced meals at school. Two million children are living in relative poverty, yet are not eligible for free school meals - Something needs to change, and together, we can help.​
​
This is an issue often not widely known unless you're directly impacted, or have children in school.
​
Together we can make a big difference.
​
A pilot of Give A Little in Surrey bought 1000 school lunches, we are now expanding to other counties.
​
All operational costs are paid for directly by our trustees, and not from charity funds.

Please note, we will not respond to requests for funding if you are not a school. All donations to schools must be used towards school meals for children not eligible for free school meals in order to deliver on our charitable objectives.

Please note, in order to obtain a charity registration number we require £5,000 in fundraising. We are on our way, but it's a while down the road!
