Project Description
LCFHP run clubs during school holiday periods and at weekends with the aim of providing fun, games, and food for children in vulnerable communities.
Child Poverty in North Lanarkshire is above the national average according to the latest figures. Thanks to the holiday programmes Head Teachers report that children return to school in a better frame of health and mind, and also, our local food banks report that fewer families with children are referred during school holidays.
