In May 2025 we piloted a new scheme for those who needed additional support outside the school term time. We had been increasingly aware that families often struggle more during the holidays, especially in a crisis, and for this reason, we put together Crisis Holiday Packs.
These packs include 5 of our meals to help feed a family for longer than a standalone box. After a successful pilot & with an overwhelmingly positive response from schools & partner settings, we now offer Crisis Holiday Packs every half term holiday.
Unlike our meal boxes we do require a little more information about where the Holiday Packs are going – this is because the packs are more expensive to produce & so we have to ensure there’s a level of accountability for where they are going. Partner schools & settings complete (anonymised) referral forms for us to know where each pack is going & ensure we can deliver a pack to any child in crisis.
If you are a school & already partnered with us then you are welcome to complete referral forms for children in crisis to be recieving Holiday Packs. We will email your main contact in advance of the half term break with all you need to know & do. If you are unsure about anything or need to amend your main contact details please do contact us on meals@stmarksmk.com.
If you are not yet partnered with us & you are a school, nursery or family centre in Milton Keynes then fill in the form found here & we will get back to you asap.
