“I knew families around me were struggling and I knew I needed to help feed people,” she says. Back in May, she got in touch with a couple of local schools to see how she could help. They told her at least 100 families were struggling to feed their children amid the pandemic, and she had a flash of inspiration. From local schools in Hertfordshire, she now organises and sends food packs to schools in Essex, Liverpool and plans to roll out further schemes around the country. “She was so grateful, she told me how hard it was to cope.”Cynthia and her team don’t meet the families themselves.
