Thank you everyone who has donated to this project so far. We still need just a little more money to make our target, so please encourage your freinds and family to get involved.
We met all the parents last week and introduced them to the project. They were given the option of making a monetray contribution or volunteering thier time on the project. It turned out that so many of the parents are on such a low income they were pleased to be able to have the option of helping, as many have 3 dependants and only £40 a week. Making that stretch across the summer holidays is a big struggle.
After much discussion with the schools in Battersea we've decide to work with all children in the families regardless of thier age. Surely it isn't fair that only the under 10's are able to get 3 meals in the holidays while the teenagers go hungry. We'll be running a menu of 4 days veg and 1 meat day a week in order to ensure all people recieve thier full 5 a day. Although according to the BBC we should be aiming for 10!
