Leighton Linslade Helpers is a collective of community volunteers who came together to support their community through the Covid 19 lockdown in their town and surrounding areas. It very quickly grew into an organisation that is continuing to support its community by forming a charity. (1196332)
What started off as an emergency food bank to those in hardship or those shielding, without access to food, has grown into a range of services, from food parcels, community fridge, prescription deliveries, counselling and listening, to many other ways of supporting families, the elderly and the isolated.
We are now established in Leighton Buzzard High Street and will continue to support our community, other agencies and wider Bedfordshire.
With the cost of living crisis we are noticing more and more people who need our help everyday, we are now experiencing people who are in work poverty. There are people who are having to decide which of the bills they pay this month[SC1] as well as how to feed their families. We are launching a crowdfunding campaign to allow us to buy food for the community fridge and the foodbank through SOFEA and Fareshare.
In order to start our membership with Fareshare and SOFEA we need to raise £1030 a month which is £12,360 a year. Please donate via our crowdfunding platform and if you are local business who would like to sponsor this project please email [email protected]
