To raise money to provide food for children during half term
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.

The Mayor of Gedling Borough Council, Cllr Sandra Barnes has launched the ‘Giving for Gedling Food Bank Appeal’ to support our most vulnerable residents during the Coronavirus outbreak.
We’ve been inspired by the response from residents and know that many of you want to help. We’ve created a crowdfunding project so that residents and businesses whose circumstances allow, can donate to provide additional community support for those who are most in need.
All Gedling Borough Councillors have kick started the fund by each pledging £250 from their Councillor Community Grants Fund, giving a total of £10,250, but we are asking you to help us match that amount and raise a further £10,000 and help us reach our target of £20,000.
All donations will either be given directly to registered food banks who support residents across the borough and will oversee the spending of the money on much needed food supplies, or be used by Gedling Borough Council to purchase food and essential items for distribution to those food banks or directly to our residents who are most in need.
So many of our community have already come together to help each other and we want to continue these fantastic community efforts.
