Story
The AS Private Client department are raising money this Christmas for Edinburgh Food Project. The Project operates 7 Food Banks across northwest, central & east Edinburgh. As well as providing food parcels they also have two other foundations to their work - Their More Than Food projects offer a range of support to people including housing and employment, while their Money Advice Service offers free confidential benefits, budgeting, and debt advice. Their ambition is to move those needing support through this difficult period and help them out of poverty.
In September 2022, the Project provided 1059 meals to those who accessed their services. As well as receiving these meals, those they support also had full access to their other services which aim to help improve the lives of those living in poverty in Edinburgh.
Their Christmas Appeal for 2022 is to ask those who want to support their fellow Edinburgh citizens to donate a one-off gift of £10. This will be used to help provide food parcels, money advice & more than food to the hundreds of people who attend their 7 foodbanks each week.
