Story

The McCarthy-Dixon Foundation - A Charity for the Whole Community

During the first COVID-19 lockdown, many people were suddenly faced with new challenges and difficulties, with no resources to cope. The McCarthy-Dixon Foundation was initially established during this time. Since then, we have evolved into a multi-faceted charity with community at the heart of everything we do - providing a broad range of supportive welfare services to those in need.

Our Services Include:

Food Support - We provide regular and emergency food parcels to over 60 local schools and other organisations.

Social Clubs - We run a range of weekly social gatherings, which target social isolation and wellbeing.

Schools Network - We support our network of 65 Northamptonshire schools with food parcels, breakfast boxes, and our Tech4Kids scheme.

Renovations - We provide room renovations and regular garden maintenance to households across Northamptonshire who may be struggling.

Affordable Haircuts - We offer haircuts at a significantly reduced price for those in need.

Learning Opportunities - We provide cookery classes and digital inclusion sessions to members of the community who may benefit.

About the charity

The McCarthy-Dixon Foundation launched during the Covid-19 pandemic to help alleviate hunger & provide essential supplies. Evolving to a multi-faceted charity, we aim to enhance wellbeing & improve the standard of living for Northampton residents who are faced with sudden & unexpected hardship.
