No Hungry Learners
#NoHungryLearners
No
TCC and young activist members from St Joseph’s Catholic & Anglican School have launched their #NoHungryLearners campaign that seeks to alleviate the burden of school meal debt.
Hungry
Article 27 of the UNCRC says that children and young people should be able to live in a way that helps them reach their full physical, mental, spiritual, moral, and social potential. For this to happen, they should have access to adequate food and housing.
Learners
In line with the UNCRC rights as stated, we are campaigning to stop this happening and to ensure all children are fed at school – and to eradicate the stigma that such situations present.

Discussions with Local Leaders
The Young Activists have met with their Headteacher Mr Wilkinson, Ken Skates MS, Lesley Griffiths MS, and Education Lead for Wrexham Cllr Phil Wynne to discuss issues and actions regarding school dinner debt and child poverty.
Child Poverty Summit Swansea
In November 2023, we were invited to present our campaign and accompanying video at the National Child Poverty Summit in Swansea.
The event was attended by a large variety of community and charity groups and power holders, including the Children’s Commissioner for Wales – Rocio Cifuentes.
