It has been a while since we distributed the funds from our Community Giving Initiative, so now we have a chunk of change about to go to some great causes.

The first one up... Foodshare at Wycliffe

At the end of week, if we have food surplus, we will drop it off to Foodshare at Wycliffe. Yesterday, we dropped off a little bit more with £100 worth of packaging, blue rolls, bags, and period products. We have also donated £400 that will contribute to their ongoing running cost.

Foodshare at Wycliffe is a community food distribution program, supporting local families in need. The program distributes surplus and end-of-day food from local stores, ensuring that edible food is not wasted and reaches those who need it most. It is open to the public every Thursday, Saturday and Sunday at 8pm. It operates from the Lower Back Hall of the Wycliffe Baptist Church on Kings Road.

It is run by Pride of Reading Awards Neighbourhood Champion winner Kathryn Burgoyne, and an amazing army of volunteers.

Though Foodshare at Wycliffe is focused on food, if you plan to support their efforts, think also of donating period products. It is an item that they have a lot of demand for that they typically supply through buying using their own precious funds.

The odd £1 donation to the Community Giving Initiative mounts up to meaningful impact to those who need it most.

Thanks to all those who have contributed. 🙏🫶
