A number of restaurants across Hull & East Yorkshire have rallied-round to support a campaign by Manchester United footballer, Marcus Rashford.
Rashford, who lobbied the government to provide meal vouchers for unprivileged school children this half-term, failed in his effort when MPs voted against the motion last week.
But now restaurants, cafes and other businesses up and down the country have come together to supply free meals to children during this half-term holiday so that no child has to go hungry.
Solita Bar & Grill at Hull Marina, who only opened this summer, have joined in the campaign and will be providing free burgers and chips to anyone who needs them.
Children and parents can discretely message their order through the Solita Facebook page and choose either a Burger with fries or vegetarian burger with fries. They can then collect between 3pm-6pm each day this week until Friday (30th October).
“We are very grateful for the support we’ve received since reopening, especially in August. We now want to return that amazing support. This is completely self-funded so please only use if truly needed.”
Other Hull & East Yorkshire restaurants/cafes offering the free meals (with no need to purchase an adult meal or dine in ) are:
