00:00:00
children's charity kids can is hoping it
00:00:02
will be able to operate as an essential
00:00:04
service during the nationwide lockdown
00:00:05
and says demand from schools for food
00:00:08
supplies has risen sharply in just the
00:00:10
last week after the nation moved to
00:00:12
alert level 3 the charity changed its
00:00:14
policy allowing schools to send food
00:00:16
home to families for the first time
00:00:18
CEO Julie Chapman says hundreds of
00:00:21
schools put their hand up to become a
00:00:23
supply hub during the lockdown to
00:00:25
support students and their families who
00:00:28
they know will be struggling she joins
00:00:30
me now tell us have you heard Julie from
00:00:33
the government what your role will be
00:00:35
during the lockdown look what I can tell
00:00:39
you is we've been speaking with Ministry
00:00:41
of Education today and we know that
00:00:46
using schools as a as a hub will
00:00:49
probably not work and because of the
00:00:51
fact that people do need to stay home
00:00:53
and you know so isolate in this period
00:00:57
so what we are now doing is talking to
00:01:01
government about how and what we could
00:01:04
do to still get supplies through to
00:01:07
those families and children that are in
00:01:09
need but the key thing here is that it
00:01:11
obviously needs to be done safely so any
00:01:14
thoughts on how you might be able to do
00:01:16
that well I think you know there's a lot
00:01:20
of a lot of ideas and a lot of thoughts
00:01:22
that we've got but ultimately it's going
00:01:25
to be up to the sort of command team as
00:01:28
to whether we can play a part and we're
00:01:31
certainly poised and ready to do that we
00:01:34
are a bulk food supplier so if we are
00:01:38
called upon then we will help one of the
00:01:41
key messages that I want to get out to
00:01:44
our schools tonight though is that if
00:01:47
you do have any kids canned food on-site
00:01:50
you need to get that out and distribute
00:01:53
it to families before midnight otherwise
00:01:55
it is likely that it will have to stay
00:01:58
there for at least the four weeks of the
00:02:00
lockdown possibly longer if it continues
00:02:03
so how much food is that then but that
00:02:05
you need to get out tonight
00:02:07
well that depends on what schools are
00:02:10
holding from Tim one and we know that
00:02:13
some schools have already been taking
00:02:15
that food and sending it out to their
00:02:17
communities dinning at home with
00:02:19
children and we have communicated that
00:02:21
to schools earlier in the week that they
00:02:23
are able to do that but certainly now
00:02:26
that we know that it would be unlikely
00:02:29
that we could use school as a hub we're
00:02:32
encouraging our schools to take that
00:02:35
food now and give it out to families
00:02:37
before midnight so what has the demand
00:02:40
been like in the past week we opened our
00:02:44
food portal about a week ago and on
00:02:47
average each term the requests are for
00:02:52
to support about 30,000 children a day
00:02:55
across seven hundred and eighty-seven
00:02:57
school so far we've had 460 schools
00:03:01
order food and we have already exceeded
00:03:04
the 30,000 students a day so we expect
00:03:08
certainly that when we come out of
00:03:11
lockdown and we go back into the school
00:03:15
term and schools go back we'll be
00:03:17
exceeding 40,000 students a day so there
00:03:21
is going to require huge effort from us
00:03:24
the community and our partners and
00:03:26
individuals that donate to kids can so
00:03:29
what have you what kind of foodstuffs
00:03:31
have you been sending because it wasn't
00:03:32
prepared food was that it had to be had
00:03:34
to be food that could be prepared at
00:03:36
home so what kind of stuff were you
00:03:37
sending out in the packages yeah so our
00:03:41
schools are able to access a range of
00:03:43
products so we have fruit in terms we
00:03:46
have baked beans we have yogurt yogurt
00:03:49
makers spreads for bread Skagen mix a
00:03:53
range of news we bars and general kind
00:03:57
of hot meals and terms that can be
00:04:00
heated up and prepared easily in a safe
00:04:03
way Julie how worried are you about
00:04:06
these kids because they're not going to
00:04:08
be going to school for the next month
00:04:10
and potentially longer and if they
00:04:12
normally get there one of their main
00:04:14
meals from you at school
00:04:15
what are your worries here yeah we're
00:04:19
extremely worried as a team
00:04:21
and as I say you know we stand ready to
00:04:23
work in any capacity that we can with
00:04:26
government and this is going to become
00:04:29
you know this isn't about just kids can
00:04:32
kids in school this is going to the
00:04:34
choir become a wider food and security
00:04:37
issue across the country I believe that
00:04:41
we can play a part in meeting that need
00:04:43
and but we are going to see a huge
00:04:46
increase and we're very worried about
00:04:48
those students that do rely on you know
00:04:51
breakfast and lunch being provided at so
00:04:54
you are obviously hopeful that some kind
00:04:57
of arrangement where everybody will
00:04:58
still be safe but this food will be able
00:05:00
to get through you're still hoping you
00:05:02
can negotiate that oh absolutely
00:05:05
I mean you know what we're set to do and
00:05:08
we have a huge distribution warehouse we
00:05:11
have stock coming in and you know our
00:05:14
supply chain is the deal right now that
00:05:17
out to communities and so you know we
00:05:21
are hopeful that we can play some kind
00:05:23
of I'm sure that kids don't go hungry
00:05:27
thank you so much for joining us that's
00:05:29
Julie Chapman who's the kids can CEO and
00:05:32

00:05:34
