New food scheme launched by the Old Saw Mill
Here at the Old Saw Mill we are acutely aware that there are families and single people in the town who are struggling to make ends meet. The recent cut in Universal Credit, huge increases in energy bills and soaring food prices have meant some people are unable to buy enough food to eat.
We already deliver meals to people isolated in their own homes every Friday and we are launching a new scheme to help families who are going hungry. We have introduced meal vouchers which can be distributed to those in greatest need which entitles them to claim a meal and drink in the café or a takeaway. In order to cover the costs of this initiative, we are asking local residents, organisations and businesses to make a donation so we can cover the cost of the meals.
For example £18 would provide a meal for a family of three but we would be more than happy to receive any amount towards our costs.
If you would like to help out please bring your donation into the Old Saw Mill or make a bank transfer into our account clearly marking it Meal Scheme.
