Hucknall Food Bank have been supporting the community of Hucknall for many years. However, due to a recent increase of over 50% in people using the food bank, they made a plea on Facebook for help. This increase, as well as soaring food prices, meant that they were in danger of running out of supplies.

Upon seeing the plea, Brightwake Managing Director, Steve Cotton, donated £2000 to help them. This much needed money will allow them to support families in need for the next ten weeks. However, with the rising cost of living and more and more families being referred for their services, they are in need of ongoing support and we want to help them to continue helping people who are struggling in this difficult time.

While food donations are greatly received, donations of cash are extremely helpful as it allows the team to replenish essential items which are running low such as sugar, washing powder and toiletries and ensure that there is enough for everyone.

The charity currently spends around £200-300 per week and it supporting roughly 100 households each month in the Hucknall community, with some receiving only one package a month an others visiting weekly, depending on circumstances and whether there are children in the household.
