Horsham Matters Ltd
Fill a plate and stop hunger
Can you help us ensure no one in our community goes hungry? We are asking for your support to help us put food on tables of those struggling with food poverty
Story
Horsham Matters continues to support the most vulnerable in our community and we are currently providing more than 700 individual food parcels a month through our foodbanks across the district.
You can help us put food on the table for someone facing food poverty by donating to our Fill-A-Plate Campaign to ensure that no one goes hungry.
It isn’t right that anyone should face food poverty and we continue to strive for a time when foodbanks are no longer needed. In the meantime, with your support, we’ll continue to work for change and support those in need.
If you can, please consider donating to fill someone’s plate today. A donation of £25 will provide a single person with a food parcel and essential toiletries.
Please help us make a difference to people like Ms X who received help at one of the lowest points in her life.
“When my partner suddenly left the family home, I had to take care of the kids and handle all the bills alone. Money became a big challenge, as I couldn't cover everything that we used to split in a two-income household. Even after paying everything, there was not enough left in the budget for food. I got help from the foodbank, but as time passed, I still found myself needing support with food every month.
Horsham Matters reached out to offer a referral for additional support. I accepted and discussed my budget over the phone. We used an income and expenses calculator and discovered I was in a negative budget each month. The advocate shared helpful information on lowering some bills. I tried out some suggestions, and it worked! Though money is still tight, my overall budget improved. I don't rely on the foodbank as much, but it's good that the support is there when I need it.”
