Lotto players help feed kids

GENEROUS players of People’s Postcode Lottery in Dumfries and Galloway have helped raise more than £7 million for international school feeding charity Mary’s Meals, supporting its transformational work to encourage hungry children into the classroom and help them build a brighter future through education. Mary’s Meals serves daily school meals to more than three million children in some of the world’s poorest communities. The decade-long partnership between People’s Postcode Lottery and Mary’s Meals has achieved remarkable success, with more than 39 million meals served to date in 16 countries around the world. Gemma Love, from the charity, said: “We are incredibly grateful to People’s Postcode Lottery players in Dumfries and Galloway, whose ongoing support is helping us reach more children than ever before with a daily school meal that encourages learning, brings hope and changes lives. “Seeing the difference this support makes for children and communities inspires us to keep going and to reach even more children in the years ahead.” To find out more about the work of Mary’s Meals and ways to get involved, please visit marysmeals.org.uk.
