Glasgow Children's Holiday Food Programme
Impact Funding Partners managed this fund on behalf of Glasgow City Council. The Glasgow Children’s Holiday Food Programme was developed to enable community organisations to provide nutritious food and activities for children during the school holidays.
The fund supported third sector/not for profit organisations operating within Glasgow to provide these meals in a non-stigmatising way and to provide activities that would appeal to the children which would encourage them to attend and receive a healthy meal.
£2 million was made available by Glasgow City Council to support organisation in providing projects over the Summer, October and February school holidays for the 2018-2019 academic year.

Testimonials
“As a working parent. This program allowed me to work stress free knowing my children were looked after and had good food during the day”
- Glasgow Children's Holiday Food Programme 2018 - 2019
“The summer camp has changed my life…….Just knowing the kids can come here, have fun, get something good to eat at lunch and early in the morning has made everything so much easier. I am not having to worry every single day about food during the summer. I can go to work and then come up here and see them. They are happy and running about every day.”

“This program has taken a child from being excluded with low confidence and self-esteem to becoming a confident child who now manages his eating choices choosing more healthy foods”.
