Any funding raised will go directly to the residents who need it. In addition, we have a popular Facebook group providing advice and sources of help for local people. We are offering support, advice and financial help to cover emergencies. We will be delivering a leaflet to every household in the village offering help and asking for donations.

Foodbanks are overstretched and under resourced, and some have closed suddenly. Initially we see our grants providing emergency food provision while we find more permanent sources of help. We will adjust our provision depending on need and the resources we have available.

Donations will be gratefully received and will be supplemented by grant applications from local government and charities.

If we come to the end of the crisis and have funds remaining, we will consult donors for advice. We may donate remaining funds to existing charities in the village, return the funds to donors or continue to help local people In a more permanent way.

Committee members are Sharon Acum (Treasurer), Dave Baldwin, Kate Harris and Kate Maroney. Please feel free to contact any of us directly to request a grant or discuss any donations in complete confidence.
