There has been a lot of media attention this week on holiday hunger provision. The families of children who have free school meals during term-time can often struggle financially during the long summer break.

This is something that I’ve campaigned on for a long-time now, and last year Feeding Bristol was given Government money to run a pilot. Unfortunately, despite the huge success of that scheme, we were not given any Government money this year, and had to resort to crowd-funding. This has been covered in both the Guardian* and by ITV News.
