Fundraising for The Trussell Trust
Story
"Together, we will recover from this pandemic. Together, we can create an even stronger society. Together, we know this can change."
Firstly thank you for visiting this page.
As a community we always pull together to help others I have set up this page to help contritube to the vast growing demand of this vital service in Harrogate and surrounding areas.
I have been collecting donations and food parcels from friends and the word seems to be spreading with this I have set up a central point for donations.
Thank you in advance for your kindness and generosity for what is a very difficult time for many.
Please read the statement below:
In the last few months, we’ve all been hit by something outside our control. As the coronavirus pandemic has swept in, its impact has been felt by all of us, in many different ways.
More and more of us are facing financial insecurity, a loss of control, an uncertainty over what our futures might look like.
But while we’re all being hit by the same storm, we’re not all in the same boat. For some, this sweeping lack of control is new and unsettling. For some, this will be a one-off occurrence from which they’ll recover. But for people living in poverty, this feeling isn’t new. It’s all too familiar.
Feeling trapped, facing limited options, and being let down by systems designed to provide support is the norm for millions of people every day.
In the first two weeks of the pandemic, food banks in our network reported an 81% increase in need compared to the same period last year – that’s more than 6,250 food parcels every day, with close to 3,000 of these for children. And as the outbreak continues to develop, it’s likely that more and more people are going to need to use a food bank.
Many Thanks
Kerri
