Bournemouth Food Bank


TRUSSELL TRUST

We are pleased to announce our charity partnership with the Trussell Trust, an organisation that aims to end hunger and poverty in the UK. The Trussell Trust supports more than 1,200 food banks across the UK, including Bournemouth Foodbank, to provide a minimum of three days’ nutritionally-balanced emergency food to people in need, as well as providing support to help people resolve the challenges they face. In 2018-19, food banks in the Trussell Trust’s network provided 1.6 million emergency food parcels to people in crisis. More than 550,000 of these went to children.

We will be working with Bournemouth Foodbank to provide financial support from fundraising activities in and around the centre. We have introduce a new donation drop-off point to the centre.

Alex Christian, Head of Corporate Partnerships at the Trussell Trust said: “We are thrilled to have NewRiver as our new corporate partner. We have seen a record demand in food bank use in the last year, with more and more people struggling to afford the basics. This isn’t right.
But thanks to the incredibly vital support from our partners, we’re committed to working towards a future where there is no need for food banks. We’re continually blown away by people’s support to provide emergency help and this kind of generosity from NewRiver shows that as a nation we believe in justice and compassion to change society for the better.”
Centre manager at Prospect Centre said: “We are delighted to enter into this partnership with Bournemouth Foodbank, which works tirelessly to support people in crisis. We are uniquely placed to help the Bournemouth Foodbank raise awareness and support those in need in the BCP area. The partnership will also present our own staff with opportunities to volunteer and provide practical help, bringing us even closer to the community we serve.”
