Caerphilly County Borough Council staff respond to Free School Meals Appeal
Posted on : 18 Feb 2022
Due to the red weather warning in place the Council decided to cancel today’s planned free school meal deliveries.
This would have resulted in a number of families without a free school meal delivery for the half term school holidays.
Christina Harrhy, Chief Executive of Caerphilly County Borough Council sent out an appeal to all staff to ask for volunteers willing to lend a hand delivering these meals yesterday afternoon.
Dozens of staff responded and queued outside Penallta House to collect and deliver free school meals across the county borough.
Christina Harrhy, Chief Executive said “This is another example of what’s possible as part of Team Caerphilly. Nothing gets in the way – our collective commitment towards protecting our people and place is always at the forefront of all we do. Thanks so much to everyone who has volunteered over the past week but especially to those that stepped in this afternoon. I’m so proud of and so thankful to all involved. "
