Liam White will be performing at the British Legion A local food bank is urging people in the Waterside to support their community this Harvest time, a er the charity’s end of year stats report, published earlier this year, revealed that in the past 5 years, there’s been a 51% increase in the number of emergency food parcels needed by people in the UK, with 1 million emergency food parcels being distributed to children in 2024/25 alone. Stephen Green the Waterside Foodbank chair says that any way local people can support – from volunteering to donations or raising awareness - will make a big di erence for the people accessing the foodbank. Laura Holloway the Waterside Foodbank manager says: “This Harvest season, we are reaching out to the local community to help support our work to break the burden of isolation on those in hardship, so that Waterside and provide the warmth of hospitality to those who have nothing or no one else to lean on.” Over the last year, food banks in the Trussell community have experienced record levels of need as more people struggle to a ord the essentials and it is likely that this situation will only worsen this winter – so this Harvest is a particularly important time for local communities to support the foodbank. Locals are urged to help in many ways including: • Donating non-perishable goods, such as canned goods, pasta, rice, and hygiene products. • Financial contributions, which allow the charity to purchase essential items and maintain its operations e ciently. Emma Revie, chief executive at Trussell says: “We know that many people turn to food banks as a last resort and feel embarrassed that they need to ask for help but food banks across the country are there to offer a warm welcome, provide essential items and help people access services that can lift them out of poverty. By coming together and supporting Waterside food bank this Harvest and through to winter you are not just offering a meal – you are extending a hand of friendship, combating isolation, and helping to provide an environment where everyone is valued.” no one feels alone in their journey. For many of the people who receive our support, walking through the doors of the food bank is one of the few social interactions they will have that week. We have become increasingly aware that we are not just providing them with food but also the hope of a welcome and connection. We need the help of the community during Harvest to continue to address hunger in the in Black eld in December; booking details for this event will be available soon. If you are interested in joining a great group of friendly people, to help out at an occasional event, join the hub meetings to learn more about what they do or even to become a Committee member, they would be delighted to hear from you.
