Churches Together in Myland

The MakeLunch project, run by Churches Together in Myland provides cooked food during the school holidays for local families who are eligible for free school meals during term time.

The project, which is based at the Mile End Methodist Church, also offers a range of free activities, including crafts, outdoor games and face painting.

We awarded them a grant for a much-needed new oven.

Lynsey Heslegrave, who runs the lunch club, said: “We desperately needed a larger and more efficient oven to help meet a growing demand. When we first started providing meals in 2017, we had around 10 to 15 people attending the lunches. This past Summer we had 40 people through our doors every week.”
