Our Wenceslas Project is receiving donations from those persons who wish to donate their Winter Fuel Payments to help local people who are struggling to pay for heating their homes and cooking their food. Every payment is made directly to the energy companies, ensuring that ALL monies received are spent on gas and/or electricity. Clients may be referred to us by the Citizens Advice Bureau and AgeUK, among others. Please go to www.lionsgiving.co.uk/Appeal/adureastwenceslas or see attached flyer for further details.
Additionally, or instead of, why not consider donating to our Adur East Food Bank Fund? Our members are buying groceries from a low-price national supermarket to supply local Food Banks in Shoreham, Southwick and Fishersgate. The food Banks are helping those people who cannot afford to buy the absolute essentials that are needed to eat, or have health and/or disability issues. Please help those struggling to buy food by donating to our fund – https://www.lionsgiving.co.uk/Appeal/adureastfoodbank
