COVID-19 has really started to have an impact on day to day life for many today, with a real possibility that very shortly within days, we could see some of our most. Vulnerable being asked to isolate, there is even talk of schools shutting for what could be long periods of time and other. Precautions and advisory measures being put into place, but as with anything when people are scared, feel vulnerable and are facing the uncertain they panic, they stop listening and they think about how all of this could affect their own loved ones and families.

Another busy build up to Christmas with this years’ hamper campaign.

2019 has been a tough year for many, and whilst demand for support has been up, it’s been a challenge to get the vital donations we need to supply contents for our hampers. Nevertheless, with the support and donations from individuals and local business we again delivered hundreds of hampers this year.

I have been on the road trying to understand how engaging with the local community brings real benefits to the lives of those living in deprived areas.

I recently visited Neo Community Cafe in Rock Ferry. Here, I met countless people who described the various activities of the café as a lifeline: volunteers and customers alike.

2018 saw yet another successful campaign to provide Christmas Hampers for hundreds of local families.
