One of the organisations who will benefit from the Robin Hood Fund say they are 'overwhelmed' with the response so far. Nottingham Community and Voluntary Service (NCVS) will use the money raised to ensure grassroots organisations receive the help they need to keep going.
The Citizen Advice Centres in Nottingham and the city's largest foodbank, Hope Nottingham will also receive funding. It comes after Nottinghamshire Live has joined forces with The Nottingham Project to relaunch The Robin Hood Fund this winter where one hundred percent of funding will go to the organisations.
In 2020 the Robin Hood Fund raised more than £100,000 for food banks, homeless support, vulnerable women and small charity support in Nottingham. This winter the money raised will be used to support the impacts of food and energy poverty on Nottingham’s most vulnerable citizens, including those experiencing poverty for the first time.
