Food is key to a child's health. Without proper nutrition, children can face severe, irreversible changes in development: weak immune systems, stunted growth, and higher risk of heart disease. Hunger affects mental health, concentration at school and chances later in life. In London, 40% of children are food insecure. Malnutrition is growing, and Victorian diseases like scurvy and rickets are returning. If we don’t act, this crisis will have devastating consequences for a generation’s future.

City Harvest provides nourishing food to children facing hunger and malnutrition. We rescue food that would otherwise go to waste and deliver it for free to local children’s organisations across London. If we reach our campaign target, we can provide an extra 800,000 meals to children across London. Over 45% of the food is fresh fruit and vegetables, improving children's nutrition, mental and physical development, and opportunities later in life. Please help us improve a child’s future.
