To support our families during COVID-19, we will be providing hampers for those families who feel they require them and meet the following criteria:

  1. Families who are in receipt of Free School Meals
  2. Families, who are not currently in receipt of Free School Meals, but believe their circumstances have changed that could mean they are eligible  
  3. Families who we support with food parcel

If you meet any of the above criteria, and you find your child/family is having to self-isolate for any of the reasons below, then please contact the following email address: fsm@gfmat.org to inform them of this.  Our central finance team will then begin the process for you to receive the food hamper if:

  • Your child’s Bubble is closed
  • Your child, or someone in their household is displaying symptoms of COVID-19 and you are waiting test results
  • Your child, or someone in their family /household has tested positive for COVID-19 
  • Your child or family has been told to self-isolate by NHS Test and Trace, the NHS COVID-19 app, or a medical professional e.g. a surgeon ahead of an operation
  • Your child has arrived in the UK from a country with a high coronavirus risk

If you are unsure as to whether you might be eligible then please email enquiries@gomer.gfmat.org  who will forward your enquiry to the relevant colleague.
