While I was visiting Milton Keynes I spent some time on a community radio station where I meet Nina Castree. During our initial meeting Nina told me that Across Milton Keynes, 1 in 4 children live in poverty, meaning that more than 16,000 children experience the affects of their household not having enough money, sometimes for basics such as school shoes, heating or food. This concept “the working poor”is now common in most developed countries.
Nina and the community of St Marks church developed the concept of:
- NO CHILD SHOULD HAVE TO GO TO BED HUNGRY
The help of the local community, we can feed hungry tummies all across the city. We want children all over Milton Keynes to have dinner so that they can turn up at school the next day without the burden of hunger pangs. We've got a simple system that gets dinner to where it's needed, when it's needed, so that children don't have to go to bed hungry.
Tonight on the ConFab with Michael G you will gain an understanding of Nina, her life history and passions.
