Schools this week will be on their half term break. Their kitchens will be closed. Nearly two million children rely on free school meals as their only hot meal of the day. MakeLunch is a network of churches working to fill the holiday hunger gap. Volunteers based in churches, community centres or sometimes school buildings believe that one meal for one child makes a difference. Not daunted by the scale of the issue, they focus on providing what they can when they can, offering a free hot meal to children from low-income families, and seeking to ensure that the families that need it the most get invited. Just one example is St Mark’s Church in Milton Keynes which will provide 300 children with meals this half term, in three primary schools and a children’s centre. Rev’d Paul Oxley talks about how his church’s involvement in meals provision for children has grown over the last year. Listen to the story at:
