The Hubb Foundation supports thousands of vulnerable children and families during the school holidays, and we’re set to provide our millionth meal in Stoke-on-Trent.
Adam Yates, Chief Executive Officer, recently spoke to the BBC about the positive impact it’s made in the community.
“It’s a brilliant number to hit, really impressive, but on the other hand, it’s a shame organisations like ours exist because of the hardship of children and families,” he said.
The figure of a million free meals has been reached through a combination of the help the charity provided to people through Covid, as well as school holiday support and other projects.
Organising and supplying the food was down to an “incredible team” and having “probably more partnerships than anyone else in the city”.
“Demand is increasing, requests are increasing, the number of families that need signposting to different services is increasing.
Supplying so much free food had been a huge effort, but without it, there would have been a million fewer meals in Stoke-on-Trent”.
