As usual life has been hectic! Over the Christmas period we delivered 58 hampers and provided 25 Christmas dinners! As the New Year progressed our work as Befrienders increased with everyone getting their Council Tax and increased utility bills - a worrying time for all.
After a steady increase in our support for those on the poverty line over the Autumn and Winter period, we saw this triple over 2022 figures in February and it continues to rise dramatically during March
None of this work could be achieved without the generous and wonderful support of our followers - thank you!

As you know, our Charity has no premises or paid staff which ensures that all monies donated are spent in their entirety on those who are on the poverty line, therefore we have been very fortunate to be welcomed into the Loose Ends food sessions at the Newbury Cricket Club. Loose Ends are a wonderfully friendly, caring organisation who again are manned totally by volunteers and who provide warm, nourishing food five days a week. The premises are lovely and everyone sits down, chats and eats and there is a separate office if a private conversation is needed. A lovely convivial atmosphere in which to sort out worries or stresses,
Loose Ends are looking for anyone who may have an hour or so a month to spare to help serve the pre prepared food or hand out tins to those attending. If any of you would be interested in offering an hour or so to this vital, friendly, warm charity you can apply on their web site (they are aware we are sending out this email)., clicking on the 'Volunteering' link at the top of the page - https://www.looseendsnewbury.org/
