Our Christmas appeal received a huge boost today thanks to a £250,000 donation from the Evening Standard Dispossessed Fund. This takes the total amount raised by our Winter Survival Appeal to £1.5 million. The grim reality is that this money is needed more than ever. The Trussell Trust predicts that demand on food banks is set to soar and that this will be their “busiest winter ever”.
The Dispossessed Fund was established in 2010 to tackle poverty, inequality and exclusion in the capital. Its donation will go to eight charities helping Londoners through the cost-of-living crisis.
