ABOUT

As the cost of living crisis and effect of the pandemic still affect us in many ways, we see child poverty on the rise. 1 in 4 children in Bolton and Greater Manchester suffer from food insecurities. This could be storing food as they are unsure when their next meal will be or keeping it, to take home for hungry siblings and family members. BLGC provide free hot, nutritious meals for children and young people who need them.

This execution uses an emotive poem called 'AN EMPTY PLATE'. The powerful words highlight the struggle that some children and young people face. For most parents an empty plate represents their children finishing their meal and being full. But some kids the hunger is real and an empty plate means just that, no food.
