Fantastic news from our friends at The Canopy Community Hub 🍉

The summer holidays can be the trickiest of times financially and many parents will be wondering how they're going to manage to feed AND entertain their children throughout the summer. Well worry no more because we have the most amazing news!

Do you remember last October when Coldstar Refrigeration Ltd so generously provided funds so we could feed children for free during half term?

Then in December we gathered sponsorship to shave off that moustache of Bailey Greetham Clark and we fed them again at Christmas?

Well the generosity continues and we have secured funding to feed the children of the East Marsh of Grimsby throughout the summer holidays (or until the funds run out but not too likely!)

The super generous Gemma Mae Kirkham from Winner Winner Chicken Dinner Competitions has kindly donated funds to allow us to provide breakfast from 10am - 11am and lunch 11am - 2pm from Monday 22nd July until the end of August! How amazing is that?

On summer days you can bring your children, grab a snack bag and have a picnic on the park or come inside and enjoy the community lounge, Lego Club, colouring and the gaming station.

We're super excited and can't thank Gemma enough!
