The East Riding Food Poverty Alliance (ERFPA) was set up in June 2020. https://linktr.ee/erfpa

We are a partnership of charity, voluntary & community sector organisations providing support within the East Riding.

We have some fantastic news to share!

The East Riding Food Poverty Alliance has secured funding from The National Lottery Community Fund for three years to deliver our Roads to Resilience project, which started 1st November 2026.

This funding will help us continue working alongside our members and local partners to support residents experiencing food poverty and financial hardship across the East Riding of Yorkshire.

Through this project, we will help bring vital advice closer to residents, improve access to affordable and nutritious food, support families to build financial resilience, create opportunities for volunteering and skills development, and strengthen the community organisations working hard to support local people.

Living in a rural area should not mean missing out on support. We want to reach the people who need us, including those who face barriers accessing services because of distance, transport or financial pressures.

Jodie Spink, Forward Development Officer at ERFPA, said:

“We are absolutely delighted to receive this support from The National Lottery Community Fund. This funding will allow us to continue developing the Alliance and supporting residents who fall through the net because of the rurality of our region.”

We are incredibly grateful to The National Lottery Community Fund and everyone who plays the National Lottery for helping make this work possible. Together, we are building stronger communities and working towards a future where everyone can access the food, advice and support they need.

💙 A Huge Thank You to Tesco Beverley! 💙

East Riding Hygiene Support would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to Tesco in Beverley for their generous donations of hygiene products.

Thanks to your kindness and support, we have been able to deliver over 2,000 hygiene items to individuals struggling with hygiene poverty across our community.

Hygiene poverty can have a devastating impact on people's dignity, confidence and wellbeing. Your donations have helped us provide essential products to people who might otherwise go without these basic necessities.

Every donation makes a real difference, and together we are helping to ensure that hygiene products are accessible to those who need them most.

From everyone at East Riding Hygiene Support, and on behalf of the people we support, thank you for helping us make a difference in our community. 💙

This month the ERFPA Network meeting was held at New Pasture Lane Community Centre - Bridlington, a member of the alliance and an amazing charity supporting residents in Bridlington.

Just a few years back New Pasture Lane Community Centre had a small community pantry in the entrance, which has now revolved I to a self contained social supermarket- The Bread Shed, supporting hundreds of local families with affordable food. This is on top of all of the other support and activities the team provide to residents to reduce social isolation, provide opportunities and improve wellbeing.

We also had a guest speaker from Holme Family Connect Baby Bank, providing information about their service and how we can work together to reach families in need.

Thank you to everyone that attended, and to the team at NPL for hosting 💚 The alliance is as strong as its members, and yesterday really highlighted what we can achieve together.

Electricals should never be disposed of in your household bins. Items like phones, laptops and electrical toys contain batteries that can be crushed during collection and processing, posing a serious fire risk.

They also contain valuable resources like copper and gold, that can be reused if the item is recycled properly.

Many electrical retailers (such as Currys and B&Q) offer electrical recycling points. Some retailers even offer vouchers or discounts for bringing electricals in for recycling. You can also take them to your local household waste recycling centre.

Use Recycle Your Electricals handy recycling locator to find your nearest point: https://recycleyourelectricals.org.uk/electrical-recycling-near-me/

If you are a Doncaster resident, you can dispose of small electricals by putting them in a carrier bag and leaving them next to your blue recycling bin on collection day. It must be no larger than your green box – examples include a kettles, toasters, hair dryers and tv remotes.
