Hastings restaurant plans to expand children’s food scheme after donations

A Hastings restaurant says it will widen its children’s food programme after donations reached £30,000.

A restaurant in Hastings is preparing to expand a scheme that gives children food after it received £30,000 in donations, according to the BBC. The Grumpy Cook said the response had been far greater than expected.

The business said the money would allow it to reach more young people through the programme. It has not yet set out full details of the expansion.

The scheme has drawn support from local donors and others who wanted to help the restaurant continue the effort. The BBC reported that the level of backing surprised those running it.

Hastings is a seaside town in East Sussex, and the restaurant’s plans now depend on how it chooses to use the funds already pledged.
