Farnworth and Kearsley Foodbank

Farnworth and Kearsley Foodbank Provides emergency food and support to local people in crisis. Today in Farnworth & Kearsley there are
families struggling to put food on the table.

For people on low incomes, a sudden crisis -
redundancy, benefit delay or even an
unexpected bill - can mean going hungry. Every
day parents skip meals to feed their children
and people are forced to choose between
paying the rent and eating. Farnworth & Kearsley Foodbank provides emergency food and support to people in crisis. Run by a group of local churches in Farnworth, Kearsley and surrounding areas, we aim to see the hungry fed and justice done in our local community.

A massive thank you to the staff at Tesco Farnworth for their incredible efforts in raising ยฃ1500 for the foodbank! This generous contribution will help us stock up our warehouse with much-needed supplies to support those in our community. ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿ’™

We encourage other workplaces to get involved and make a difference too! Every little bit helps, and together we can create a stronger, more supportive community. Letโ€™s make it happen! ๐Ÿ’ชโœจ

Calling all business people
๐ŸŒŸ Youโ€™re Invited to ๐—ก๐—ฒ๐˜๐˜„๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—ž๐—œ๐—ก๐—š๐—ฆ at The Well๐ŸŒŸ

Weโ€™d love you to join us this month for another inspiring morning of connection, conversation, and community.

๐Ÿ“ Where: The Well Cafe, Farnworth. BL4 7PQ
๐Ÿ—“ When: Friday 26 June , 9:30am-11:30am

Social value, environmental and social governance (ESG), corporate social responsibility (CSR). Call it what you like, but it's become as important as your bottom line. It's measurable and reportable, and it impacts decisions made by your potential investors, patrons, employees, and customers: all the groups that make your business what it is.

The message is simple. If you don't understand it and embrace social value/ESG/CSR, you WILL be left behind. The great news is, it's easy to do, and it's an investment, not a cost. And, if you have a voluntary, community or social enterprise (VCSE), you need to understand how to attract businesses and patrons to work with you. Because if you don't, another VCSE will!

This month, Jim Cheetham Potts will explain the benefits of social value/ESG/CSR to both businesses and VCSEs and what you can do to unlock those benefits. Plus, because NetworKINGS was set up to support social value, it's the perfect place to start.

๐Ÿ‘‰ Come along, get inspired, and take away ideas you can start using straight away!

Alongside our guest talk, youโ€™ll also have the chance to:
โ€ข You'll have the chance to tell everyone about who you are, what you do, how you can help them, and what help you need to take your business forward.
โ€ข You'll meet people who can help you grow up.
โ€ข You'll get a continental brunch.
โ€ข And you'll get the chance to look around the facilities at The Well.

๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ Todayโ€™s Highlight ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ

We had a busy and encouraging morning today as we received a large tub of food and a cheque for ยฃ470 from St.Jamesโ€™s CE High School.

We are incredibly grateful for their quick response to our recent urgent appeal and for their continued support as one of our valued local charity partners.

During their visit, students had the opportunity to learn how our Foodbank operates, see the work that takes place behind the scenes, and understand how our dedicated volunteers help make a positive impact across the community. Experiences like these help young people develop compassion, social awareness, and a better understanding of the challenges some families face.

We also had productive discussions about future partnership opportunities, including supermarket food drives, wellbeing days, volunteering, and fundraising events.

If your school would like to work alongside us and provide meaningful community engagement opportunities for your students, we would love to hear from you.

Please contact Dilly, our Fundraiser, at [email protected] or call 01204 861671 for more information.

Together, we can inspire the next generation while making a real difference in our community. ๐Ÿ’™
