MARY'S MEALS
OUR PRESIDENT'S CHARITY FOR 2024
Mary’s Meals serves nutritious school meals to children living in some of the world’s poorest countries. The promise of a good meal attracts these hungry children into the classroom, giving them the energy to learn and hope for a better future.
We are already feeding more than 2.4 million children every school day – and together, we can reach the next hungry child waiting for Mary’s Meals.

HOPE HOUSE CHILDREN'S HOSPICE
Hope House Children’s Hospices is a charity that gives every local child with a life-threatening condition and their family access to professional care and improves their quality of life from the point of diagnosis.They support more than 750 families who are either caring for a terminally ill child, or whose child has died.It costs £9.6 million every year to run their services. Approximately two month’s income comes from statutory sources and for other 10 months of the year they are dependent on public support.
Last year the Market Drayton Rotary Tree of Lights campaign raised nearly £2000 for Hope House and Ty Gobaith - this year we would like to raise more.
