A community news update from your area
JOINING HANDS: (L-R) Jade, Ella and Tanya from Home Instead Wigan at The Brick
Home Instead Wigan, a local home care company, is partnering with The Brick, a community foodbank, to address the hunger and poverty crisis in the UK. The company has committed to offering monthly assistance to The Brick to support people in the community during these challenging times.
The Brick is an anti-poverty charity that helps people at risk of homelessness or financial hardship. With a century of service, it has been a vital resource for many people in the area.
Home Instead Wigan will be donating essential food items every month, collected by their care professionals and office staff. These donations will greatly benefit families and individuals facing financial hardship due to the escalating cost of living.
The Brick provides warm clothes, hygiene products, school uniforms, food and household furniture to people and families in the North West who are struggling to make ends meet. Nick Hodgson, director of Home Instead Wigan, said: "The compassion and community service of The Brick reflects the amazing work of so many organisations and individuals, truly making a difference to so many people.
"At Home Instead, we strive to support individuals and families every day and we are proud to be supporting this initiative, offering a helping hand to those who need it most. By working together, we can support the entire community, and offer a lifeline to those in need.”
Home Instead Wigan encourages members of the community to get involved by volunteering or donating non-perishable food items. You can drop off donations at their office located in Wigan Investment Centre, Waterside Dr, Wigan WN3 5BA, and the team will donate them to The Brick.
