Story

The Charnwood Food Poverty Group is a coalition of 30+ local community organisations, working together to fight food poverty.

We believe that nobody should go hungry - through any circumstances. Therefore, we are working together to improve:

- Access to food provisions, ensuring food provisions are balanced and useful

- Quality and consistency of food provisions available

- Advocate for change and work together with agencies to provide food within a non-judgmental offer

They gave me two packs of food and I just cried. Sometimes it's the little things - Sue, Former The Bridge Client

Sadly, food poverty was already increasing prior to the pandemic. As many will know, COVID-19 has plunged more households into uncertainty than ever before, due to ill-health, sheilding, furlough, redundancy and more. We are continuing to work in COVID-secure ways to ensure food provisions are provided.

Every penny you donate will be crucial in helping us stamp out food poverty in Charnwood.

You can find out more about the Charnwood Food Poverty Group, including a list of member organisations, your closest food services, and great recipes on our website.

Donations will be overseen by the CFPG strategic lead charity, The Bridge (East Midlands), who care for the CFPG budget.
