Holiday, Activities & Food
With an accumulative total of 2,944 hours delivered across 32 days through the support of 122 varied organisations, the summer delivery of HAF 2022 has undoubtedly been a success. Through the unique and productive partnership between The Hubb Foundation and Stoke-on-Trent City council, a bespoke offering has materialised for the children in our city who need the help most. Furthermore, there has been consistent praise about the delivery model incorporated in Stoke-on-Trent.
Transition
With more than 37,000 invitations to children across the city in summer 2022, we were able to support the 'Transition' programme (funded by the Opportunity Area) supports children on their journey through their transition into secondary school. Operated directly through the high schools across Stoke-on-Trent and in partnership with feeder schools, The Hubb Foundation commissions and coordinates activity and enrichment providers to offer children a fun and engaging experience at their new school prior to term time.
Hubb Pots
Designed to support families over an eight week period on average, this project gives each family a slow cooker, utensils, and ingredients to make cost-effective meals (ranging from soups to casseroles). Providing over 72,000 meals in the last year, this project helps families to discover how they can prepare and cook hearty, healthy, and hot meals at home for the whole family.
COVID-19 Response
In partnership with the Port Vale Foundation and Synectics Solutions, we helped to provide and deliver more than 350,000 meals to families during the COVID-19 pandemic. Through referrals from schools and local organisations, we ensured each family received the support they needed during this critical time.
Community Venue Upscaling
In addition to our holiday projects, we support community venues in making their organisations both compliant and sustainable. Through free training sessions to bid writing support, we look to upskill community based organisations to support them in supporting disadvantaged families in Stoke-on-Trent.
