ISLANDERS should not have to fundraise to provide meals for children, a backbench Deputy has said, following a crowdfunding campaign to provide local secondary schools with free school meal vouchers.

Deputy Rob Ward, who chairs the Education and Home Affairs Scrutiny Panel, praised the fundraising duo but said it raised questions about the government’s commitments to children.
Audrey Laurens-Chalmers and her daughter, Molly, set up the page last month with the aim of supplying meal vouchers to vulnerable students at Haute Vallée, Grainville, Les Quennevais and Hautlieu. The funds raised, which currently total more than £7,000, will be given to the charity Caring Cooks, who will provide the schools with lunch vouchers – entitling pupils to a free hot meal, dessert and water.

And now those behind the project have set their target even higher.
Audrey Laurens-Chalmers and her daughter Mollie set up a fundraising page last month, with the aim of raising enough money to supply 1,282 free meal vouchers for vulnerable students at Haute Vallée, Grainville, Les Quennevais and Hautlieu.
After surpassing their target, the pair now hope to raise £7,800 to pay for 2,000 meals. The funds raised will be given to the charity Caring Cooks, which will provide the schools with their ‘Have a Lunch on Us’ meal vouchers – worth £4 each – entitling pupils to a free hot meal, dessert and water. All meals will be freshly prepared by the charity’s catering team on school premises and include fresh fruit and vegetables to me
