In October 2020 we launched our Emergency Appeal to raise £240,000 to keep our Foodbanks open for at least the first part of 2021. We always felt this would be an enormous stretch – we have only ever run fundraising campaigns for ‘Christmas treats’ before this. However we have been absolutely amazed at the generosity and commitment of our supporters. We will shortly announce the grand total, and give out some special mentions, as we have been truly blown away by the success of this appeal. If you would still like to make a donation, the Appeal page on Virgin Money Giving is still open: click here.
