“Brgghh it’s chilly isn’t it?!”, whether it’s from colleagues in the office, friends at the pub, or family around the dinner table we are hearing these words a lot at the moment as we move firmly into autumn. But what is a conversational ice-breaker for some, is much more serious for thousands of people across the country.

Our hubs are scaling up provisions this winter to make sure that our community members don’t have to choose between heating or eating by offering complete access to:

  • Food. Hot meals, snacks and festive treats
  • Warmth. Safe, heated spaces where families can gather together, play games, read books or watch a film.
  • Company. A place to connect, share and find relief from what can be a very lonely time for parents under pressure and individuals who live by themselves.

But we can’t do this without you! Please consider giving today to make sure we can support those of us most impacted by rising fuel costs. Anything you can give will make an impact. Whether its £5 to buy a child a hearty and nutritious meal or £50 to cover the costs of a family support worker for the day. All of it matters. Thank you!
