Over the last 4 years, SI Warrington has been supporting Mary’s Meals (https://www.marysmeals.org.uk), an amazing charity which provides one meal a day to some of the world’s poorest children.

The club has collected more than 50 rucksacks and filled them with everything a child needs to enable them to attend school (sometimes many miles walk away from home) including clothing and shoes, personal hygiene items and all the day to day requirements for learning. In addition, a monthly raffle at club meetings has raised in excess of £500 which has been donated to the charity. It costs just £13.90 to feed one child for a whole year; through Mary’s Meals, children not only receive a much needed meal but also an education which is so vital to their future well-being.
