As school holidays progress, many families are facing challenges in providing adequate food for their children, leading to increased reliance on food banks. YMCA Cheltenham is organizing 'family fun days' to offer outdoor activities and free healthy meals to support those in need.
Sofia Perkins, manager of Radstock Food Club, noted a rise in demand for food assistance, reflecting a shift in public perception towards food banks. Despite the positive community initiatives, concerns remain about food quality and the ongoing financial pressures families face during the summer months.
