This February half term, The Together Centre are offering free school lunches and craft activity packs to children who are unable to leave their homes due to their parent or carer's health and/or wellbeing.
The charity, based at Loxley House on Birch Lane in Dukinfield, is providing the service to families in Tameside who need support.
The project is supported by the 'hey girls' Charity and links into the Tameside Fuel4Fun project, delivered by several partners across Tameside.
The Together Centre provides a variety of services and activities for all ages. Their fully accessible community hub hosts The Together Café in partnership with Active Tameside, providing affordable and home cooked food for as little as £4.50 for a two-course warming meal.
Councillor Bill Fairfoull, Deputy Executive Leader with responsibility for Children and Families, said: "The offer of a free lunch delivered directly to families who cannot easily leave the house is an amazing and much-needed effort from The Together Centre.
"This project aims to support struggling families in Tameside, ensuring families who need the support receive it. This support is needed more than ever as the cost of living rises. Hopefully easing the pressure for some families who are falling on hard times."
To request a free lunch for a child with parents who are unable to leave their home this half term, email Leanne.bold@thetogethercentre.org.uk or telephone 0161 366 1987.
