The idea
Gedling Borough Council is supporting the campaign spearheaded by footballer Marcus Rashford to provide food to families over half term.
In Gedling, over 2,500 school children are eligible for free school meals. Any families who are currently receiving free school meals and need some support over half term can call the council on 0115 901 3901 and they can organise for the delivery and or collection of food from their nearest foodbank.
The council has also set up a fundraising page with the aim of raising £10,000 to help provide meals and support families during half term and the coming Christmas school holidays. The council will be kick starting the fundraising by providing £4,000 to help get to the £10,000 target as soon as possible.
