Ever wondered what happens when someone 'Asks for Henry'? e put the national scheme to test to help readers.
As Brits struggle to put food on the table and heat their homes in the cost of living crisis, Morrisons is offering those in need a free hot meal when they use their discreet codeword.
A reporter at Yorkshire Live headed to her local Morrisons cafe to experience 'Ask for Henry' and left feeling overwhelmed by the compassion she received. Megan Shaw explained: "The thought of anyone going without a warm meal during these bleak winter months breaks my heart, so I decided to put myself in their position and try it out for myself.
"She brought over the hot meal in minutes with a smile and said "enjoy", I felt instantly at ease and no different to any other paying customer who was in there. The meal was simple but really nice, healthy and filling. The jacket potato was cooked to perfection and was filled with an ample amount of beans and served with a tasty side salad. I left feeling full, warm and with my dignity in tact.
"I was really pleased to see that the scheme is able to help those in need, it was good to see it in action and while sadly, the help from this collaboration is a drop in the ocean in fixing the wider problem, I will certainly sleep better tonight knowing that man has a warm meal in his belly and thanks to Morrison's, many others do too.
She explained: "For transparency, as I didn't need this meal and wouldn't want to take it from somebody who does, I offered to pay for it afterwards explaining that I was conducting a social experiment for an article. I was told by the very friendly staff that they didn't have an option to process payment for the meal on the till and that it would not be necessary. Therefore, I donated the cost of the meal, which would have cost me £4.48, in the charity box instead.
