Hi, I have been taking part in the National Citizen Service scheme, and the final two weeks are all about helping the community. My group has chosen to fundraise and volunteer for two charities, Hopeworx Foodhub, a food bank donating essential provisions to people in poverty and Age Concern at The Todman centre, who provide hot meals for pensioners, both of these projects are in Rayleigh. Part of the fundraising involves a sponsored walk from Southend, and any money raised from this will go towards the foodbank to provide items that are not always donated, such as toiletries, and anything you can give will be very gratefully received. Thank you for reading.
