FUNDING usually reserved for providing meals to children over the Easter break is being used to deliver meals by a local housing association.

Queens Cross Housing is providing over 300 healthy meals, prepared by the Flourish House team in the Courtyard Community Centre.

The meals will be delivered for three weeks in April. 

Familes will recieve the meals on Mondays and the packages should have enough food to last them the week.

Nicola McGrath, Queens Cross’ youth work coordinator said: "With restrictions on children and families leaving home, we organised one big delivery of meals that should last all week. That way, the families can plan their meals and limit the amount of time our staff and volunteers are out in the community.

"Most families booked this service digitally, so there has been no physical contact with parents and we have more bookings coming in for next week."
