CHARITY CASE STUDIES AWARDED A £1600 COMMUNITY GRANT

AWARDED A £500 COMMUNITY GRANT

This money could fund:

They intend to spend this money on some laptops/tablets for their distribution outlets so the teams there can more effectively signpost their clients to relevant organisations, such as welfare/benefits/debt advice and employment support services in the area. Their teams will also be able to help clients fill in forms to access grants to cover gas and electricity costs, and to help cover the cost of replacing broken domestic appliances etc. These extra services that they can provide on-site at the foodbank will help address some of the underlying causes that put people in the position where they need an emergency food package.
