Our Wheels Have Gone! Help Keep Our Lifeline on the Road

After seven years of incredible service, our beloved van has reached the end of its road. This van has been the backbone of everything we do, faithfully transporting vital donations and enabling our street kitchen to reach hundreds of people every week, and thousands every month.

Without it, we face a huge challenge in continuing to provide the support so many rely on.

We're not usually ones to ask. Aside from our Easter and Christmas chocolate fundraisers, we work hard to avoid relying on public donations, knowing how many others are facing hardship. We have some emergency funds to hire a van for the next few weeks, and we've applied for grants, but as anyone in the charity sector knows, the grant process can take months, and the competition is fierce.

That's why we're reaching out to you today. To keep our essential services running without interruption, we urgently need to raise funds for a new van. This vehicle is more than just transport; it's the key to:

Delivering vital donations: Ensuring food, clothing, and other essentials reach those who need them most.

Powering our street kitchen: Bringing warm meals and support directly to vulnerable individuals in our community.

Reaching hundreds weekly and thousands monthly: Maintaining the scale of our impact on the lives of local people.

Every contribution, no matter how small, will make a real difference and help us get back on the road as quickly as possible. Your generosity will directly impact the lives of hundreds of people in Wakefield who depend on our support.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for considering a donation and helping us continue our vital work.
