This investment will create over 500,000 additional places at holiday clubs by the end of the supermarket’s current three-year funding commitment, extending support until at least March 2029. The move addresses growing concerns about food insecurity, with the Food Foundation estimating that over two million children in the UK live in households struggling to afford food, especially when school meals are not available during holidays.
