As Winter approaches Greenwich Foodbank has already matched its total distribution levels for 2021. We expect the next few months to be the toughest we have ever experienced. With this in mind, we are delighted to announce that we have partnered with Nick Buckland in the relaunching of the Greenwich Foodbank Winter Fund.
Nick is a long standing, passionate supporter of Greenwich Foodbank and in 2020 commenced a huge fundraising effort from his front-room whilst isolating with COVID-19. He felt compelled to initiate the Food Bank Fund as a response to the spiralling need for foodbanks during the pandemic. Nick’s idea was seen as a short-term solution to a short-term problem. He raised an incredible total of £50,000 to support the work that we do.
“Sadly, foodbank usage has risen sharply as the effects of the cost-of-living crisis really start to bite” said Nick. “I’ve joined forces with Greenwich Foodbank to relaunch the fund for Winter 2022. This year’s Winter Fund is a way in which our local community can respond to the cost of living crisis and show tangible support for our local foodbank as it continues to fight as part of Trussell Trust to affect change to the end that we see a nation emerge with no need for foodbanks.”
Jamie Ginns, Greenwich Foodbank CEO said “Nick’s support in 2020 was invaluable and helped to provide so many people with emergency food and support within the Royal Borough of Greenwich who were referred to us in crisis. We jumped at the chance to work with him again to engage our community once more as we fight food poverty.”
With the rise in the cost of living Greenwich Foodbank knows that the cost of giving has risen too. This makes us even more grateful each time we see someone give their own money to ensure that those in most need are looked after this winter. #thankyou
