WHAT ARE MARY'S MEALS UK LOOKING FOR?
We are looking for people who are passionate about ending child hunger and ensuring that every child receives a daily meal in a place of education.

As restrictions change across the UK, other key activities may include:
-

- Promoting Mary’s Meals’ fundraising campaigns in your community.

Our flexible volunteer roles allow you to raise awareness in your own community in whatever way you feel comfortable. All of our volunteer activities are tailored to suit your different skills and time constraints.
