Following the successful delivery of the Telford @ 50 Holiday Hunger pilot, Telford & Wrekin Council has set aside further funding to expand the scheme in 2019 to 2021.
Aim
The Telford & Wrekin Council Holiday Activities and Eat Well Fund has been established to provide support to those who are on low incomes or who aren’t able to access free school meals (FSM) during the school holidays.
The Holiday Activities and Eat Well Fund is focused on the areas of Telford with the highest numbers of children and young people (CYP) in receipt of FSM.
These areas are the wards of Arleston, Brookside, Dawley & Aqueduct, Donnington, Hadley & Leegomery, Ketley & Overdale, Madeley & Sutton Hill, Malinslee & Dawley Bank, Oakengates & Ketley Bank, The Nedge and Woodside
There is a total of £50,000 available within the Holiday Activities and Eatwell Fund for 2019/20, the amount of funding available in each of the ward areas is proportionate to the number of CYP in receipt of FSM that live within the ward.
Funding is available to support the development of new projects, or to expand projects that have been delivered previously.
