Healthy Holidays - food available for families in need
From Monday 27 July to Friday 31 July a mixture of hot meals and weekly food bags will be available to collect from community venues across the borough for families.
From Monday 3 August to Friday 28 August only prepared meals will be available. Families will also be able to collect activity packs full of ideas, advice and inspiration to keep you active and eating well this Summer.
Collection/eligibility
To receive food, parents/carers can simply turn up at one of the centres listed on the Tower Hamlets Healthy Holidays webpage (link below as venues and times may change over the summer), and they’ll be asked to register before collecting food.
Priority will be given to those receiving Free School Meals, and families with school-aged children that need food.
