YELLOW AND BLUE has reaffirmed its commitment to supporting Wrexham families this summer through its £1 children's meals scheme. 

The scheme, which the hub offers every year helps struggling families by relieving the burden of rising costs to feed children during the summer holidays.

Yellow and Blue has received praise from the wider community for the work carried out within the city through various initiatives carried out throughout the year.

2023 marks the third consecutive year in which the community hub has supported local families through similar schemes in the summer holidays, following on from last year's packed lunches success.

This year has not gone without its challenges for Yellow and Blue who were forced to move premises earlier this year due to a leak in the roof at their former site on Henblas Street.

As a result, the project re-located to Eagles Meadow in April, where they are now rebuilding and continuing their important work within the Wrexham community through a range of initiatives such as the 'Mam's and Prams' group, craft club, and their takeaway service.

Yellow and Blue is supported by a non-profit social enterprise made up of some paid staff and a group of volunteers who give up their time to help make the group a success.

When discussing this year's summer holiday food scheme, which will see children choose from a wide menu for just £1, founder of Yellow and Blue, Pete Humphreys said: "The kids summer meals is something we do every year, we feel that it’s very important to support when some parents need it most.

"Whilst summer for some people is barbecues and holidays there are parents out there struggling through and this can lead to a stressful six weeks.

"Hopefully we will see that six weeks made a little easier for £1 for children’s meals at YaB."
