Support the My Weekly Helping Hand Appeal this Christmas

My Weekly supports Mary’s Meals

Mary’s Meals provides life-changing school meals to children in 16 countries across the globe. The promise of a good meal brings hungry children into the classroom, where they can gain an education and better opportunities for the future.   

For a limited time, a group of generous donors is matching donations for this campaign, up to £700,000 – so by donating today, you'll be feeding twice as many children.

Help provide school meals with Mary’s Meals

We are already serving more than three million children every school day – and together, we can reach the next hungry child waiting for Mary’s Meals. It costs just £19.15 to provide a child with meals in a place of education for a whole school year, and as little as 10p can provide one nutritious meal for a hungry child.
