Inspired by the End Child Food Poverty campaign launched by Manchester United footballer Marcus Rashford, Burnham Juniors have been providing children with free packed lunches this half-term.

Burnham Juniors launched the initiative with Burnham FC to help ensure children who usually rely on free school meals don’t go hungry during the half-term holidays.

Burnham’s Junior tuck shop at the George Pitcher Memorial Ground, also known as the Cherry Orchard, is being used to prepare the lunches and is also the collection point for families.

The club has also launched a fundraising drive to raise £500 towards the cost of the lunches and the appeal has already raised more than £1,500. For more information visit https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/burnham-juniors

Any surplus money left over from the October half-term will go towards providing help for families at Christmas and a donation will also be made to a local charity.
