To support our families during COVID-19, we will be providing hampers for those families who feel they require them and meet the following criteria:
- Families who are in receipt of Free School Meals
- Families, who are not currently in receipt of Free School Meals, but believe their circumstances have changed that could mean they are eligible
- Families who we support with food parcels
If you meet any of the above criteria, and you find your child/family is having to self-isolate for any of the reasons below, then please contact the following email address: fsm@gfmat.org to inform them of this. Our central finance team will then begin the process for you to receive the food hamper if:
- Your child’s Bubble is closed
- Your child, or someone in their household is displaying symptoms of COVID-19 and you are waiting test results
- Your child, or someone in their family /household has tested positive for COVID-19
- Your child or family has been told to self-isolate by NHS Test and Trace, the NHS COVID-19 app, or a medical professional e.g. a surgeon ahead of an operation
- Your child has arrived in the UK from a country with a high coronavirus risk
If you are unsure as to whether you might be eligible then please email enquiries@kgarowner.uk who will forward your enquiry to the relevant colleague.
