Aim
Because Hope Starts Here for people facing crisis. For a limited time, Aviva will match fund individual's donations up to £250.
As Christmas approaches, many local families can’t afford the essentials that most of us take for granted.
Some will struggle to put food on the table, or worry about being able to turn on the heating over winter.
This festive season, can you help our food bank support local people?
Who are we, and what is our project about?
Our mission is to relieve poverty and hardship, not only through emergency food provision but by improving financial wellbeing. Through our Support Beyond Food programme, trained staff and volunteers help people maximise income, complete benefit applications and access support. We work closely with specialist partner agencies, offering referrals and advice to address the root causes of poverty, reduce repeat foodbank use and help people achieve long-term financial stability.
Why are we crowdfunding?
We're raising money because every day we see the power of community live out in Masons Road Hub. Many local people will struggle to put food on the table this Christmas. Your donations could be the life-changing difference between hardship & hope this winter.
How we’ll spend the money raised
Any funds raised will be directed to areas of greatest need, ensuring we can respond flexibly and provide support where it will have the greatest impact this winter. This might be through purchasing food when demand outstrips supply, supporting our staff and volunteers with training in referrals, or ensuring we can keep our Hub warm and welcoming for those facing crisis this Christmas time.
£25: A gift of £25 could help us support someone with a warm welcome, a cup of tea, and an emergency food parcel – as well as life changing advice and guidance.
£50: A gift of £50 could help pay for stock that we’re short of in the food bank – ensuring we can continue to support local families facing crisis.
£125: A gift of £125 could help fuel our delivery van – enabling us to collect and distribute food donations across our local community.
