Children who are eligible for targeted Free School Meals will receive holiday food vouchers at a rate of £10 per pupil, per week during the October half-term holiday.

Eligibility for Free School Meals has changed and only pupils whose household income is below the Universal Credit earnings threshold of £7,400 continue to be eligible to receive these vouchers under the targeted free school meals criteria.

Children in receipt of expanded free school meals will no longer receive the holiday vouchers. If your child attends an East Riding school, your school will arrange the holiday vouchers for you.

If you live in the East Riding but your child attends a school outside the East Riding and they are eligible for targeted Free School Meals, please contact [email protected] to claim your vouchers.

We've been truly spoilt recently. Another wonderful harvest donation arrived this week from HOSM Methodist church.

Thank you again to everyone who supports us. Each donation makes a huge difference.

Here's to changing the world, one can at a time 🥫💛

Nobody should have to choose between putting food on the table and being able to keep clean. 🫧

New research from In Kind Direct and The Hygiene Bank estimates that 9.6 million UK adults - nearly 1 in 5 - are experiencing hygiene poverty. That means going without essentials like toothpaste, soap, deodorant and washing powder because money won’t stretch far enough.

It can affect health, knock confidence and leave people avoiding work, school or time with friends and family.

At Holme Helpers, we believe everyone deserves dignity, kindness and someone to turn to. If you’re struggling, please message us privately. We’ll listen without judgement and do our best to help.

Please share - someone you know might need that reminder. 💛

📣 Calling all local creatives: we need YOU! 🎨

Could you help us share our updates?

Holme Helpers is looking for a volunteer to give us a hand with our social media posts.

Because we are a very small village group, this is an unpaid, flexible role; but it could be a really great fit if you are over 16 and looking to get some practical experience in graphic design or marketing.

It’s a relaxed way to practice creating posts, build up a portfolio of real-world work, and try out new ideas, all while doing something lovely for your local community and helping your neighbours.

If you'd like to use your skills for a good cause and fancy a chat about it, please just drop us a message here Holme Helpers or email us at [email protected].

We'd love to hear from you!
