Free school meals are a lifeline for many families that are struggling to make ends meet.

The summer holidays are supposed to be a time for children to have fun, find adventure and enjoy everything that being young has to offer, but hundreds of children in Swansea are going hungry because they don’t have access to their healthy, reliable school lunch. 

This is why I have organised the Kid’s Lunch Club. For the next two weeks we will ensure that children attending holiday clubs and play schemes across Swansea East will have either a hot lunch or a healthy packed lunch provided so they can carry on enjoying the rest of their holiday, with plenty of energy.

Channel 4 News have covered the issue and visited Faith in Families in St Teilo’s Church to see the difference we can make. You can watch it by following the link below:
