Last night we had the AGM for Broke Not Broken . 2057 food supports delivered over 5700 people, 2700 of whom children. As an independent food bank we have developed a range of supporting projects to tackle the effects poverty has on our community & fill the gaps in a safety net.

Excited to be at the The Poverty Alliance Agm today. As members it’s great to find out what part we can play in the way forward to reduce and prevent poverty in the compassionate and just country we live in.

These values align so strongly with our work and purpose, we are so pleased to to see this a part of The Poverty Alliance revised strategy.

After our trustee meeting last night it was decided that we are leaving Twitter. I doubt it will make much difference, but we all play our part don’t we? You will find us on LinkedIn for campaigning and networking, and on Facebook for community work.
