NeverSeconds is a blog created and run by Scottish schoolgirl Martha Payne in 2012. On it, she expressed her thoughts and experiences of eating school meals at her primary school in Lochgilphead. The blog received a great deal of public attention and international press coverage after the Argyll and Bute Council tried to ban the child from posting photos of the lunchtime meals served at her school. After being used to help raise more than £143,000 of donations to the Mary's Meals charity via JustGiving in support of school feeding programmes for impoverished communities around the world, the blog ceased to be updated after less than two years of operation.
