Meals & More The Meals & More journey so far
Meals & More provides funds and resources that help our partners run Holiday Clubs across the UK.

The Meals & More Mission is to provide support to children who live with poverty and social isolation and have limited access to adequate food provision and activity throughout school holiday periods. Founded by Brakes in 2015, Meals & More is an independent registered Charity. In 2021, Meals & More reached a landmark, supporting the provision of over 1 Million meals since our journey began. We simply could not have achieved this without all of our amazing supporters and partners. Meals & More continues to actively champion an end to child poverty, and a leading voice in calling on Government Ministers to take action to mitigate hunger during school holidays. Our Purpose
Meals & More is focused on developing sustainable working partnerships with registered charities to run the holiday clubs that underpin our aims and makes a difference to each child we reach. Meals & More is a catalyst for positive change, bringing likeminded people together, creating the opportunity to improve life chances, contributing to happier, healthier children and families. Through provision of nutritious food and enriching educational and physical activities, Meals & More partnerships contribute to supportive environments, boosting health, self-belief and aspirations. We believe that every child matters and deserves a good start in life, not only at school but throughout the year. Our Partners have a clear understanding of Meals & More aims and collective challenges. We embrace all opportunities to work with organisations and businesses that have similar goals and share our aspiration to make a difference.

One month to go until the Big Give Christmas Challenge!

Why not swap your posh coffee for a donation?

The average coffee costs around £4, but during the Big Give, your £4 donation will be doubled to £8, helping to fund almost 6 meals for children at holiday clubs across the UK.

One small swap can make a big difference. Be part of Meals & Joy and help us make Christmas brighter for children.

With less than 6 weeks to go until the Big Give Christmas Challenge, now’s the time to get involved!

Through our Meals & Joy campaign, we’re helping children access healthy food, enjoy festive activities and make special Christmas memories during the school holidays.

Whether you donate the cost of a coffee, take on a 5k wellie walk or try a fundraising idea of your own, every action brings us closer to making Christmas brighter for more children.

From 1st – 8th December, every donation will be doubled thanks to match funding from our campaign champions, meaning your fundraising can go twice as far!

Every child deserves Christmas. Start planning how you’ll get involved and help us make twice the difference this Christmas.

From 1st – 8th December, every donation will be doubled thanks to match funding from our campaign champions, helping us reach more children and give them opportunities to experience the joy, excitement and magic of Christmas.

Every child deserves Christmas. Save the date and help us make it happen.

Out and about with 'Get's Active'📣

Over the last few weeks, we’ve been visiting our Get's Active projects across Northern Ireland to see the programmes in action and meet the fantastic staff and volunteers who make them happen.

We recently visited the Downpatrick Get's Active Summer Holiday Programme at Patrician Youth Centre, where we saw first-hand the range of activities on offer and the nutritious food being provided to children and young people throughout the summer holidays.

The programme provided a welcoming space where children and young people could enjoy healthy meals and snacks, get active, try new activities and have fun with friends.

A huge thank you to the staff and volunteers at Patrician Youth Centre for welcoming us and for all their hard work delivering Gets Active in the local community. 💚

This project has been supported by the Community Foundation for Northern Ireland through the Comic Relief and Sainsbury’s Summer Holiday Activity and Food Programme Round, The National Lottery Community Fund Northern Ireland, and by Sysco Ireland Meals & More.

🏃‍♀️ GOOD LUCK, TEAM STRIDES FOR SMILES! 🏃‍♂️

This Sunday, an incredible team will be taking on the Robin Hood Half Marathon to help make sure children don’t go without a hot, healthy meal during the school holidays. 💚

Every mile they run is helping raise vital funds & every £1.35 donated gives a child who may otherwise go without the chance to enjoy a hot meal during the school holidays.

That’s a difference that goes far beyond the finish line. 🙌

Support this incredible team and help us put food on the table for children who need it most.

Good luck!!
We’ll be cheering you on every step of the way! 🏅👏
