Claire Walters, Regional Vice President of Lineage UK, is proud to announce its support of national charity Meals & More.
Since leading foodservice provider Brakes founded Meals & More in 2015, the charity has supported more than 2 million meals at holiday clubs across the UK. Thousands of children and families have benefited from healthy, nutritious food in safe and enriching environments during the school holidays when support for vulnerable children is most needed.
Claire says: “Lineage UK is delighted to be supporting Meals & More. The charity has made amazing strides over the past few years helping reach so many children and young people. Its ethos and mission align closely with our own, in that we wish to transform the world’s food supply to eliminate food waste and feed the world. We are committed to reducing food waste and fighting food insecurity in communities around the globe.”
Peter McGrath, Operations Director at Meals & More, said: “We are delighted that Lineage has joined us on our journey to support children during the holidays. Sadly, the need for support in many communities is growing at a significant rate. The leadership and team at Lineage are clearly very passionate about our cause and their support will assist us in reaching even more children.”
A Meals & More survey conducted in 2023* highlighted that over 70% of parents expected to struggle financially over the summer holiday and, with 1 in 3 children living in poverty, many continue to experience food insecurity and the challenge to help continues to grow.
