Look what we have been up to over the past couple of days…doubling our initial grand total for the The Welcome Centre Food Bank.
Thank you to each and everyone of you lovely lot who donated, you are amazing!
To meet Emma Greenhough The Welcome Centre’s Fundraising Manager, face to face after all these years of raising funds for the The Welcome Centre Food Bank gave us the opportunity to get an update from her on the incredible work the centre carries out every single day.
Not only do they provide the invaluable food bank service to the community but the fund raising has allowed them to now add to their services so they can assist their clients further, based upon their own individual circumstances and needs.
They offer budgeting support, linking their clients to other available Government support services and other things such as assisting with the completion of complex forms; offering emotional support and very importantly listening at a time when their clients need it the most!
The The Welcome Centre, Food Bank has been serving its local community for 25 years and is one of the largest independent food banks in the UK – such an incredible organisation that we are proud to support!
