Dry Food Packs
This year during the extended periods of travel restrictions and lockdown Brighter Path was able to fund the provision of food packs to care leavers throughout the country who were going hungry.
For many care leavers in this period the combination of no income and food inflation (up to 17.5% in one month) meant that they were unable to feed their families and buy basic food essentials.
Food packs included rice, lentils, coconut, onions, milk powder, sugar, flour, tea, chillies and oil.
Many of the care leavers who received these packs have babies and young children so this basic relief made a huge difference on the ground.
