According to the End Child Poverty coalition, 16,074 children in Southampton were living in poverty in 2018-2019. Research also shows that families with the lowest 20% of household income are 3 times more likely to have mental health problems.
In order to raise awareness and fight food poverty and insecurity, 26 Polygon School staff members joined the Food Insecurity Awareness Fundraiser initiated by City Catering Southampton who feed local school children and vulnerable adults across the city.
Our aim is to do at least 10,000 steps a day each for every day in March and collectively raise £1,300.
