Holiday Hunger Grants are available to groups, organisations and service providers. They must support children and young people (up to and including 18 years old) that have a genuine need for support, are disadvantaged due to poverty, the increase in the cost-of-living and face food insecurity.

This funding is specifically to provide disadvantaged children and young people who have a lack of access to food and activities in the school holidays. Projects must focus on outcomes that encourage children to eat more healthily and be more active during the school holidays.

Award sizes

The value of a grant is typically from £1,000 to £3,000 but will consider applications for larger amounts.
