Help end child poverty!

Fed up with working lunches? Tired of your daily trip to the sandwich shop? If you fancy putting a little fun back in your lunchtime, join the Big School Dinner this Child Poverty Day - and help children have theirs.

Holding a Big School Dinner event on Friday 17 October 2008 is easy to arrange and couldn’t be more fun.  Simply encourage your colleagues to bring in their own packed lunch or hold a traditional school dinner with family and friends - then ask everyone to donate the money they normally spend to ActionAid. 

As a nation that spends millions of pounds on ready made sandwiches and fast food every day, you’ll be amazed the difference your ‘dinner money’ will make. To get hold of a free fundraising pack call us now on 01460 23 8047 or register online.
