About the appeal

Nine out of ten charities are concerned about the impact of rising costs on their beneficiaries. But did you know these same charities also face a crisis of their own?
From talking to the community projects and charities working across the Kirklees area, we know that rising food and energy prices, triggered by the highest inflation in 40 years and coming on top of the pandemic, is biting hard for many people. We know that the demand for support is increasing faster than charities can keep up with, many are being inundated with calls seeking help. We know a local food bank ran out of food they could give out earlier this week, which is how desperate the situation is becoming.
We know that the charities responding to this crisis are themselves deeply concerned about how they keep the lights on, pay increasing utility bills and provide food, when we have seen all these things shoot up in price.
We are appealing to any local businesses who want to support local charities to partner with the charity and donate to the fund. By donating now the donation will be matched by One Community Foundation increasing the number of community projects and charities they can help.

If we see community projects closing because they can’t afford to switch on the oven to offer a meal for those who are struggling to afford to feed themselves and their families, or projects closing because they can’t heat the room they host a dementia café in, or food banks closing because they can't turn the lights on in the room they use to pack the bags of donated food, then who will be there to help the most vulnerable?
