Big Give: No Child Should Go Without
Midday Tue 17 Mar – Midday Tue 24 Mar
Your donation makes double the difference!
During the school holidays, many children and families in our community face food insecurity and isolation. Your support can provide free nutritious meals and inspiring creative activities through our Holiday Fun programme for families across East Anglia.
The best part? We’ve been selected to be part of The Big Give’s Arts for Impact 2026 campaign, meaning every donation to our Holiday Fun programme will be matched up to £5,500 – turning your generosity into an incredible £11,000 of life-changing support, at no extra cost to you!

Double my donation!Beauty and Zacky’s Story
“The meals are nutritious and it helps us parents to build up on what to eat every day. Firstsite is actually a family here, it’s a second home.”– Beauty, Holiday Fun attendee
Beauty and her son Zacky attend Holiday Fun during the school holidays and have had access to a variety of free nutritious meals and creative activities, including a newfound passion for Breakdancing!
Thanks to supporters of Holiday Fun:
- Over 30,000 hot meals have been served
- More than 1,000 creative activities provided to families facing economic challenges
To continue to run Holiday Fun we need your support
With living costs rising, and access to affordable nutritious meals, as well as art and movement activities, becoming increasingly limited, our Holiday Fun programme is needed now more than ever.
School holidays can be a time of real uncertainty. You can make a lasting impact on even more children and families in your community.
