40% of London children are going hungry due to the cost of living crisis. We plan our Summer activities with this in mind and healthy, delicious, culturally appropriate food is provided at our Camps and trips. The trips give London children the opportunity for a day away from the City having fun!

Situation
70 408 children are living in poverty in London and we are helping to alleviate holiday hunger. We also know because The Childhood Trust's research that the pressure of poverty is having a profound impact on the mental health of children and their families. The Trust found that some children are stressed about the cost of living, becoming more distant and smiling less. Our Trips provide an opportunity to escape London for a day, to have new experiences, to make new friends and to smile!
Solution
Every child who comes to our Summer Activity Camps or goes on one of our trips is provided with a meal, we also provide food for the parents who accompany them. We provide activities like sport, cooking and arts and crafts to feed minds and the day trips, to the sea side, theme parks, museums, give the children a break from the challenges of the cost of living crisis. The children benefit from new experiences and make friends and memories that, we hope, will last a lifetime.
