Introducing Break Free
Break Free is a holiday activity programme that targets holiday hunger by providing high quality activities and free food for children aged eight – 13 from areas across the most need in South Bristol.
Break Free is part of a Bristol wide project called Feeding Bristol. It confronts what has become one of the biggest social issues in modern society in the UK – with many parents of children on free school meals struggling to provide for them during the holiday period.
Community of Purpose works with a range of organisations to deliver fun sports and educational activities for children in the most deprived areas of Bristol. To help tackle the very real issue of holiday hunger, every young person that attends the Break Free programme is provided with breakfast and lunch to ensure they get at least two meals throughout the day.
