One Manchester COVID-19 Holiday Hunger Support Fund

10 Jun 2020 - 15:50 by michelle.foster

One Manchester recognises that the summer holidays will present a challenge to many families who are struggling to feed their children healthy meals. This is especially the case for those who may benefit from free school meals or vouchers during term time.

The impacts of COVID-19, mean that some of the holiday schemes, and hunger support projects are not able to function in the same way that they would have in the absence of restrictions. One Manchester are therefore inviting organisations to apply for support that will directly help families to feed their children over the summer holidays in ways that comply fully with government guidance around social distancing, and that follow best practice with regards to controlling the spread of the virus.

Who can apply?
Existing constituted organisations working in the following Wards:

  • Ancoats and Beswick
  • Ardwick
  • Clayton and Openshaw
  • Fallowfield
  • Gorton and Abbey Hey
  • Hulme
  • Levenshulme
  • Longsight
  • Moss Side
  • Rusholme
  • Whalley Range

Informal groups such as mutual aid groups are welcome to apply, but they will need to do so in partnership with an affiliated constituted organisation who can act as the accountable body and received the funds.

The maximum grant is £2000, however it is expected that most awards to be smaller than this.
