Christmas appeal: Companies urged to help children at risk of hunger over the holidays
Businesses in Bristol are being urged to get behind a new campaign aimed at feeding 1,000 children at risk of hunger during the festive season. Business Live's sister site Bristol Live, along with newspaper Bristol Post, are launching a Christmas appeal today (October 21) to raise £25,000 for a programme called Break Free.
Amy Kington, co-founder and chief executive of Bristol-based social enterprise Community of Purpose, set up the initiative with her brother in 2016 - and it has since helped thousands of families in the city. The programme combats holiday hunger for children on free school meals as well as providing a range of activities to help keep young people off the streets.
