Cheltenham YMCA
Feed Cheltenham
Charities, schools and churches working together to raise money to feed those in need.
Story
#FEED Cheltenham works to support local families with food insecurities. We work with a network of local food pantries and other organisations to make sure no one has to choose between feeding their children or heating their homes. We provide vouchers to help families struggling with the cost of living, and raise funds to ensure help is available to those who need it.
One of our pantries states:
People are struggling, mental health challenges are increasing, many people’s savings were lost through COVID and their safety nets have disappeared. People are now in a financial situation that they never thought they would be in. We cannot get people’s budgets to balance and sometimes, even when sticking with minimum outgoings, they cannot maintain a sustainable financial position.
