  Please see below the Cash First referral leaflet which has been sent through from Shropshire Food Poverty Alliance. The 'Worrying About Money?' leaflets are co-designed as straightforward resources for people facing financial crisis, and anyone supporting them, to quickly see available advice and cash first support options and which agencies are best placed to help. The aim of this project to reduce the need for emergency food aid by helping people access any existing financial entitlements and advice on income maximisation as a cash first response to food insecurity.

  

• Little bags of kindness

  Fri 09 Jul 2021

  We have received the below message from 'Little bags of kindness'

   

  For our most recent kindness drive we are trying to help bridge the gap between shoe poverty and shoes going to early landfill here in the county. 

   

  With the help of lots of schools we have collected, cleaned, polished and sanitised good quality second hand school shoes and trainers that children have grown out of during lockdown. These are now available for any families that may struggle with the cost of new shoes and trainers. We have hand sorted them ourselves and we are not passing anything on that we wouldn’t let our own children wear. Sizes are from toddler to adult. 

   

  We want to offer these to as many of the children that you support as possible. We can do a box full with a selection of sizes and styles or we can put a specific order together of sizes and styles (eg. Family1: Girl, size 4, school shoe, boy size 13 trainer). There is no need to prove that the shoes are needed we just want them to go to new homes and to help and support any families that may need it. Please feel free to ask for as many as you feel you could re-home and we will do our best to fulfil this until the shoes have gone. 

   

  We are based in Shrewsbury but happy to provide to the county, as long as the shoes are collected. 

   

  Please email us shrewsburykindness@gmail.com 

   

  With kindness,

• Eat well for less are casting

  Thu 01 Jul 2021

  The hit show 'Eat well for less' are looking for new families to appear on the programme.

  This what they have to say:

  “The show is on a mission to prove that it is possible for families and households to save money on their food budget without scrimping on taste and nutrition.  We hope that by analysing the shopping habits of UK families, we can help to show where they can source the best and cheapest quality food.”

  Please see poster for more information.
