They told V2 Radio "at the beginning of the pandemic, we discovered that many local young children were going hungry because their low-income parents had suddenly been furloughed or lost their jobs.
"We were especially concerned at the plight of families that, for a variety of reasons, failed to qualify for the government’s free school meals and subsequent £15 a week food voucher scheme.
"In March 2020 we began working closely with local primary schools to support these families and their children, by providing them each week with a £15 Tesco voucher per child."
Using grants from Rotary, the National Lottery Community Fund and generous donations from the public, we have so far provided over £34.000.
They are now calling for help as The Rotary Club have not been able to fundraise as they usually do, due to coronavirus restrictions.
They said: "We have set up our Square Meal Project to raise funds and public awareness, our first campaign is to raise £2000 over two weeks to feed these children for the two weeks of the Easter holiday."
