Onward community drop in activities

  • February 9, 2023
NextFeast of FunNext

The one thing the team want you to know

By continuing to be able support vunearable local residents

Project description

Oue plan is to build on the support we already give and this would include some sessional work so that this can be even more effective. It wil alsol include supporting our weekly food aid drop in but also to run some identified well being sessions.

We know there is a need for this from the number of people coming and feedback that we have recieved. Such as “this has kept me alive” I look forward to coming all week” “I feel more comfortable coming here to get support” “it is a lifeline”

Case study: A resident’s husband had a stroke and she had no access to finance at that point, we were able to supply her with some food essentials and a small grant to help with her heating. She has a condition that causes her to need to keep warm.

Funding needed £5.000

What group or groups of people will the project be working with and why?

It is aimed at anyone in the community seeking support but also those suffering with mental health and stress related conditions.

What areas will the project be working in? Our main Council ward area is in Greenbank “including the University” but we are also very close to Mutley, Lipson and Mount Gould. Although we aim to keep it local to Greenbank we do not turn anyone away.
