The thought of anyone going without a warm meal during these bleak winter months is heart-breaking 💔
Morrison's is currently offering a free hot meal to anyone who needs one in all cafe's across the country in a bid to help out those struggling from financial woes amid the cost of living crisis.
The special code word aims to be met with support whilst ensuring that the customers needs are met discreetly. However, we recognise that for some people doing this must feel daunting and could even scare some away from accessing the help they need at fear of feeling judged or embarrassed. The staff member smiled and repeated back to me at a low volume "a Henry? Of course you can", she immediately handed me a table number and told me to take a seat anywhere I liked. I had been so nervous and gone over and over what I was going to say in my head and I needn't have worried.
I was really pleased to see that the scheme is able to help those in need, it was good to see it in action and while sadly, the help from this collaboration is a drop in the ocean in fixing the wider problem, I will certainly sleep better tonight knowing that man has a warm meal in his belly and thanks to Morrison's, many others do too.
I asked the staff how the scheme has been going and if they have had many people using it. One staff member told me it has been very popular, especially at after school time where they have seen a lot of single parent's come in to the café with their children to make use of the offer.
