Story
Right now, in Elmbridge, too many families are working hard but still struggling to put food on the table. Last year, thanks to people like you, our Walton & Hersham Foodbank provided 5,300 emergency food parcels - nearly half went to children. This is why we set up ‘The Bridge’, a community space offering a warm welcome to Elmbridge working families who are struggling with the rising cost of living. We’re here for those who are not eligible for government support and are falling through the cracks.
Helping our community to feed their families isn’t the end; it’s just the beginning. Your generosity gives local families more than food.
With your help, we’re expanding The Bridge into a larger community hub that gives hope, dignity and support, in a place where parents can:
- Shop affordably at our new community supermarket - Join courses in budgeting, cooking and wellbeing - Get advice from someone who really cares - Sit down and have a chat with one of our amazing team of volunteers.
And here’s the best part: your donation will be doubled, thanks to Walton Charity’s matched funding.* Every pound you give today will go twice as far to support local families.
£30 🪑would buy not just a chair but a place to be listened to in a safe, supportive environment.
£50 ⏱️would fund advice from an advisor – supporting someone as they work through a tough time or find a path forward.
£150 📚would buy shelving to help us store and organise food, making our space more efficient and accessible for those who need it.
£200 🛒would help to fill cupboards and put nutritious meals on the table.
*Donations will be matched up to £20,000
