Your pick me ups

Christine Mcguinness, mum, TV star and autism advocate, has teamed up with Mccain and Family Fund to support new ‘Mealtimes for All’ research – to explore some of the barriers that are experienced by families raising disabled and seriously ill children.

Almost nine in 10 families raising disabled or seriously ill children reported that the pandemic has negatively impacted their mealtimes.

42% of these parents have skipped or cut down the size of their meals, while 31% have had to turn to a food bank and 47% have delayed paying household bills in order to afford food.

Mccain has pledged £1 million that will help Family Fund to provide 150,000 grants and services to families raising disabled or seriously ill children.

Through the partnership, Mccain wants to raise awareness of Family Fund and inspire people across the nation to support Family Fund – so they can continue to make a difference and allow all families to enjoy mealtimes and family times together.

It’s those little moments that matter!
