A campaign's underway to stop children in Kent going hungry during the school holidays.

According to food redistribution charity Fareshare - more than 50,000 children are living in poverty in the county.

They're calling on food businesses to provide donations of food like sandwiches and child-friendly snacks.
Deal food bank coordinator Sheila Ward says families don't necessarily come during the day time in the holidays - so they can hide their reliance on food banks.
