A Message from the Winchester Basics Bank:
Winchester Basics Bank is inviting families with school-aged children (who live or attend a school in the Winchester city and surrounding areas, including Alresford) who feel they need some extra help over the school holidays to register for their Holiday Lunch Scheme. You do not need to be receiving Free School Meals to take advantage of this scheme; if you need a little extra help this year please apply.
We are still awaiting confirmation if shopping vouchers will be provided for those children who receive Free School Meals, so if you do we ask that you don’t also claim for the food parcel too (but please register whilst we await the announcement). The scheme will provide food for ten lunches per child. If you need more support, please register for a full food parcel for all the family – www.winchesterbasicsbank.co.uk/get-help. Please be aware that the food supplied is designed to replace the hot meal; rather than food items suitable for packed meals. Please register for the scheme here.
Winchester Basics Bank can only deliver to those who are housebound or with a disability, but they have offered to drop the food parcels to Perins School and families can collect them up until we close on Friday 17th December.
