Help us support local families in crisis
75% of children living in poverty locally are from working families.
At Walton Charity we are seeing first-hand the devastating impact of rising costs on local working families, many finding themselves in financial crisis for the first time in their lives. At The Bridge, we provide more than just food; our community hub offers a range of support services, from financial advice to debt management, all while offering access to fresh food to enable families to make nutritious meals.
The Bridge Appeal – Helping working families bridge the gap
Free fortnightly shop: At our shop without-a-till, clients can fill their shopping baskets with healthy nutritious food.
Comprehensive support: From financial advice and debt management to employment services, our partners are here to help.
Safe space: We provide a safe space and support for those facing the toughest of home situations.
The challenge: Our clients are working families who are suddenly confronted with life’s unexpected turns — be it job loss, low-paid or irregular work, family breakdown, or domestic abuse. With living costs skyrocketing and either limited or no government support, too many are slipping through the cracks.
“The Bridge gives people breathing space while going through a transition… we say ‘don’t give up, we can support you’.”
Our mission: We’re here to catch those falling through the net. By offering a helping hand during critical times of transition, we empower families to regain stability and hope.
Your impact: Every donation you make helps us keep our doors open and our services running. Your generosity means we can continue to offer these essential services and stand by those who need it most.
Plus, every donation will be matched £1 for £1, by Walton Charity making your donation go twice as far*.
Together, we can make a difference. Join us in supporting our community’s families.
*Donations will be matched up to a maximum of £10,000.
