The increased cost of living in the UK is making headlines. For many people living in Hackney, higher utility bills and fuel costs will mean the difference between making ends meet and no longer being able to afford essential items. For those who were already financially vulnerable, price increases will make things worse.
Hackney Giving will be offering grants to small, not-for-profit organisations so that they can support individuals with food and other necessities, contribute towards gas and/or electricity bill payments or provide meals in a community setting.
We will also invite applications from before or after-school clubs or holiday clubs, meaning that parents or carers can take additional paid work. We’d also like to support services which help people to save money by redistributing and reusing goods.
We can only make these grants if we have the funds available. We need your help so that we can support vital projects helping Hackney residents.
The Hackney Giving Cost of Living appeal is open: please donate now.
If you are a business and would like to give, please contact Matt.
