Morning everyone! Just a quick heads up that we won't be at Colchester Foodbank@Stanway/Tollgate today. My technology has apparently decided to stage a rebellion and I'm currently negotiating with a variety of IT gremlins🖥️📞
Sorry for any inconvenience and thanks for your patience while I get things back under control.

All set up ready to go at Monkwick Family day. Thank you to St Margaret’s Church for sharing your gazebo for shelter from the rain showers.
Sun is making an appearance so hopefully it will be a really successful event 🌻☀️

We will be closed on Bank Holiday Monday, 25th May and will be back at Stanway Foodbank on Tuesday 26th May: 10am to 2pm.

We hope everyone has a lovely long weekend – whether you’re spending it resting, with family and friends, or getting out in the sunshine.

Thank you as always for your continued support!

We are delighted to share that we have been awarded a grant from the Clothworkers’ Foundation.🎉

This funding will support important capital improvements within our organisation including enhancements to our website – which was designed by me and is definitely ready for a refresh! – as well as the purchase of a new digital case recording system to strengthen the security of our client records.
The new system will also support us as we continue to expand, helping us ensure that case notes and ways of working are consistent across the organisation and used in the same way by everyone at Colchester Community Debt Support.

These improvements will help us work more efficiently and continue providing the best possible support to the people who rely on our service. We are incredibly grateful for this funding and the difference it will make to our CIC. Thank you to the Clothworkers Foundation!✨

Mental Health Awareness Week reminds us that taking action for our mental wellbeing can start with asking for help.
Money worries and debt can have a huge impact on stress, anxiety, and overall mental health - but you don't have to face it alone. Seeking debt advice is a positive first step towards feeling more in control and supported.

If you are struggling financially, please reach out. Our friendly, confidential advice service is here to help without judgement.💚
