It hasn’t been an easy year so far and for some families, school holidays are even harder.
To help, many eateries in Scarborough, Whitby and Filey have stepped up to the plate by offering free meals to children whose families are struggling to feed them.
Below is a list of the many places offering free meals for children in need, and I will update throughout the week. Please let me know if I have missed any, and I will add them.
