Hundreds of people across Nottingham will be given vital support after two charities received a share of £20,000 through the Robin Hood Fund. The last 12 months has seen an increase in people struggling to make ends meet, amid the rising cost of living and soaring energy bills.
The fund, supported by Nottinghamshire Live, along with the Nottingham Project is in place to ensure grassroots organisations receive the help they need to keep functioning. The campaign has raised more than £20,000.
The St Ann's Advice Centre, which provides support and advice on issues including employment, debt and benefits, has received £10,000 from the fund. This money will go towards providing clients with food vouchers. Rachel Graham, community engagement worker at the centre, said: “For our clients, extra help, especially after Christmas, a time we know will still be cold and people will be struggling, will help many of our service users.
