Tara's Londis, a convenience store in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, is providing free lunch for school children accompanied by a parent, including a sandwich, drink, and snack. The initiative stems from a recent announcement that state-provided meal vouchers will not continue throughout the entire holiday period.
Raaj Chandarana, the owner of Tara's Londis, took to social media to tell the community about the new initiative. He stated: “We have been serving you guys for 23 years and a lot of the conversations I’ve had with you in recent months tell me that this is really a difficult time, but you are also a little bit nervous to ask for help. Don’t suffer in silence. If we can’t feed you after 23 years, we’re not doing our job properly.”
