Who can apply: Organisations must be delivery partners/holiday clubs supported by Meals & More (implied).
Meals & More focuses on tackling holiday hunger and isolation for UK children by funding local charities and community organisations that run school-holiday meal provision, activities, and enrichment. Their support is especially centered on making school breaks feel celebratory and safe through festive events, day trips, and structured holiday clubs that combine food, play, learning, and physical activity. They tend to partner with trusted delivery organisations rather than making broad open-ended grants, and their giving is closely tied to specific holiday campaigns and experiences.
Primarily structured, program-specific grants to registered charities and local community organisations in the UK; support appears to be recurring/ongoing for holiday club delivery, with separate seasonal campaign grants for Christmas events and day-out experiences. Grants are designed to cover direct costs such as meals, activities, transport, tickets, gifts, and decorations, often through trusted partner organizations.

Apply through Meals & More’s program channels for the specific grant stream that matches your holiday provision needs; eligibility is strongest for UK registered charities and local community organisations delivering to children during school holidays. Tailor proposals to show how funding will cover meals plus enrichment, and be specific about the holiday period, delivery model, and child impact; seasonal programs like The Big Christmas Party and The Big Day Out are likely time-bound and event-specific.
