Please donate and keep children fed

MORE than ever, Mary’s Meals is a lifeline in communities where children eat our precious daily meals. The promise of these meals draws them in to school and keeps hope alive of a better future.

However, our promise is being tested like never before. The rising price of food and fuel means that the cost to feed a child with Mary’s Meals is going up. As a result, currently the sums don’t add up.

There are more children in urgent need of help than ever before, and we want to reach them as soon as possible. But first and foremost, I ask your readers to help us to keep the promise we have made to more than 2.2 million children already receiving our meals.

I do this while being aware that rising costs are not only putting strain on families in the places where we work, but that your readers too may be facing challenges.

I ask them, please, if they can, to consider making a donation that will help us to keep serving the meals on which so many young lives depend. To find out more please visit marysmeals.org.uk
