Provide food and activities for Lawrence Hill families in need

St Luke’s Lunch supports families living in poverty in Lawrence Hill, Bristol by providing free nutritional food and engaging activities during the school holidays.  For families that rely on free school meals during term time lunch simply disappears for the 13 weeks of the school holidays. Across the UK, more than half of parents in poverty say they've cut back on food, and more than a quarter have skipped a meal in the past year.  Our main referral school has 58% of their children claiming free school meals and many more living on the edge of poverty. Lawrence Hill is within the national 10% deprivation scale, over 40% of children are living in poverty and has a high proportion of BAME families (60%). 

We’ve been running St Luke’s Lunch for over 5 years, we are doing more than just feeding children in poverty; we are creating a community for children and parents to increase confidence and social skills, providing a space for children to be active, creating a safe environment for children to try new foods and for parents to learn more about eating well on a budget and reducing costs. It’s also an opportunity for precious family time, to eat and chat together.
