Lunches offer help to families during holidays
Families feeling the pinch in Cannock Chase are being given a helping hand during the school holidays.
Care home Littleton Lodge is handing out packed lunches for children.
‘Let’s Do Lunch’ will run every Friday until September 1. Parents will be able to reserve a packed lunch from the care home and pick it up for their youngsters. Each lunch will include sandwiches, fruit, a drink, and some tasty treats.
Deborah Hughes, regional director at Littleton Lodge, said: "The summer holidays can feel like a long time for parents and finding activities to keep the kids occupied can quickly become a big expense. We hope that our packed lunches will provide some support and reassurance for families who are wanting to make the most of their time together this summer.
"We’re always looking for ways to support our community, whether it be by bringing people together for events such as our monthly coffee mornings or offering a helping hand to those who might need it.
"Our residents are excited to help put all the packed lunches together."
To reserve a packed lunch, call Littleton Lodge on 01543 399640 or email Littleton.lodge@idealcarehomes.co.uk – the lunches can be collected from the home in Bishop Street, Hednesford.
