Thank You

I just want to take a moment to say—we wouldn’t be here without you.

You’ve been with us from the very beginning, when we were supporting just 30 children. Because of your compassion, Brightlingsea Academy has grown beyond what we ever dreamed—today, 450 children rely on the meals you help provide every single day.

Your support hasn’t just filled hungry bellies—it has given these children the chance to learn, to thrive, and to step into a future full of possibility. Without you, we simply couldn’t do this.

So, from the bottom of my heart, and on behalf of every child who starts their day with a meal because of you—thank you for believing in us and being part of this journey. You truly are the reason this has been possible.

With gratitude and appreciation, Jemma x Founder, Porridge and Pens.
