SpectrumD and FareShare
SpectrumD is now working with FareShare (Tesco and Waitrose) and is supplying hot meals at the Friday Night Project and also supplying bread and other FareShare distributed items to families in need in our local community. FareShare operating hours are after 1pm Tuesday - Thursday and after 5pm on Fridays.
Teachers in British schools have warned that children who are entitled to free school meals are going hungry during the summer holidays. For Britain in 2017 this fact is shocking and Spectrum Derbyshire feels the need to provide a hot lunch, equivalent to what they would receive at school.
We hope to serve children in Derby. We don't want to create any embarrassment for the children attending so we are approaching school to give the project information to children on Free School Meals but marketing the project to families as a Summer Activities Programme.
For us to complete this objective we need the support of the community of Derby. We need
-
Volunteers to help out with the making and distribution of food with various roles.
-
Food donations so we can prepare for the July start.
-
Your donations will fund fresh fruit, bread, meat etc.
We do not want to turn any child away so will appreciate any and all help provided for this essential project.
No Hungry Child this summer holiday.

Updated events schedule is coming soon

.Are you doing the rights thing for yourself? And, what about for other people? The human rights rule of thumb is best seen in terms of the following statement "My rights end when they begin to affect the rights of another person". Please join us in doing "The Rights Thing". Just in case you are still asking "why should I care?" here is a word from Martin Niemöller, written in 1947.
