More than a meal appeal

Real help means more than just a meal.

Give now and we will match your donation to reach those who need it most.

Right now, in Elmbridge, too many families are working hard but still struggling to put food on the table.

That is why we set up The Bridge, our community space offering a warm welcome to Elmbridge working families who are struggling with the rising cost of living. We’re here for those who are not eligible for government support and are falling through the cracks.

“Being referred to The Bridge has really lifted me and gone a huge way to restoring my faith in the future, even if it is one that is shaping up differently to how I once saw it.” - Rachel, Bridge client.

We know that helping our community to feed their families isn’t the end; it’s just the beginning.

With your help, we’re expanding The Bridge into a larger community hub that gives hope, dignity and support in a place where parents can:

  • 🍽 Shop affordably at our new community pantry*

  • 💵 Join courses in budgeting, cooking, and wellbeing

  • 🗨 Get advice from someone who really cares

  • 🍵 Sit down and have a chat with one of our amazing volunteers

And here’s the best part: your donation will be doubled, thanks to Walton Charity’s matched funding**. Every pound you give today will go twice as far to support local families.

 
 

Rachel’s story
