The Brothers Trust (BT) have been incredibly generous since they started in 2016. In 2019 they bought us 2 brand new school buses which have enabled us to transport children daily to and from our new Primary School and weekly rugby. These buses are also giving us exciting opportunities for school trips and even holidays,
Nikki and Harry Holland visited our projects this year and have supplied us with the fabulous photos and videos on this site. Thank you SO much - they are amazing! BT are also selling Kenyan dog collars, made by Masai ladies in Nairobi, with all proceeds going to Lunchbowl. Watch the advert here. And .... we are also really excited we are featured in a short film on the Spider-Man:Far from Home DVD which is sold globally. If you've come to us from the Brothers Trust website or Instagram - Welcome!!! and thanks for coming to find out more. |

British Airways has supported The Lunchbowl Network for many years and very generously allows our volunteers (who are self-funded) to travel to Kenya with free extra baggage allowance. This is extremely beneficial to the charity as it allows us to transport lots of donated items at no extra cost. A recent trip saw one group of five volunteers taking out 24 large suitcases full of various goodies including educational resources, portable cd players, books, paints, glitter, school shoes, rugby boots, school socks and tights and pens and pencils.
It is worth mentioning that the charity gets all the suitcases donated from local supporters and once the contents have all been emptied and distributed in Kenya, the cases are handed out to carers and families of our Lunchbowl children who live in Kibera and for whom a second-hand suitcase provides a great source of storage in their small, basic shack. It enables them to keep their limited belongings off the damp, often sodden mud floor. We are extremely grateful to British Airways for all their ongoing support. |

Big Yellow Storage Big Yellow Storage is the UK’s favourite self-storage company and it is certainly our favourite! Big Yellow Storage has also supported us for many years and provide The Lunchbowl Network with a complimentary clean, bright, secure storage unit to store all of our donations prior to them heading out to Kenya. It is a great facility to have and it is particularly packed at the end of the summer term when lots of UK school children donate their school shoes to be sent to the children at the Angel Kindergartens and The Good Samaritan Primary School in Kenya. In addition to donations, we also store all of our fundraising and promotional materials in the storage unit. The service provided by Big Yellow Storage is fantastic and makes a big difference to the charity |

We get lots of support from schools we are affiliated with. Teachers from Coombe Hill Juniors came out for a couple of weeks in Summer 2018 to help us with training and are planning another trip in 2020. These trips have required much planning and fundraising within the school to help fund them and also take out valuable resources to assist the teachers. Have a look at their amazing blog here |
