This month we have received a high number of referrals and given out 509 food parcels. These food parcels have provided a total of 4,581 meals - 36% were for children. These are terrifying local statistics and show that people just don't have enough money for the essentials.

Brilliant weekend at #stratfordpursuits2025, talking to you all. Great to see Manuela Perteghella MP 🔶 Manuela Perteghella and get the opportunity to talk about the #guaranteeouressentials campaign and the Trussell Lobby Day at Westminster on 18 June. #trussell #guaranteeouressentials

We need some free or very low cost temporary storage space for items we are holding for use when we get new premises. The space we need is about the size of a household garage - with only ocassional access needed. Can you or anyone you know help us? All ideas welcome! Thank you.
