Arthurlie Family Centre has received donations of food through Tesco’s Community Food Connection programme where surplus food is supplied to charities and community groups across the UK.

The food is a mixture of bakery products, fruit and vegetables, cheese and yogurt.  Items marked with a “use by” date that can be frozen on the evening of its end date.

The children have benefited from these food donations making tomato and basil soup and sensory experiences in the playrooms.

“That’s noodles and I’m putting mushrooms in it. I’m mixing it.”

I’m playing with the food. It feels slummy.”
