Helping local families through the Covid crisis
Thank you to everyone who has supported our COVID-19 Response Fund.
We pledged to match every donation £1 for £1 so, together, we have raised more than £70,000 to support local families hardest hit by the pandemic.
““Today I received £150 of Tesco vouchers and I’m yet to stop the grateful tears from falling. I honestly don’t know what I would of done if it wasn’t for amazing people like yourselves working tirelessly to help families like mine. From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much! ””
With your support we have been able to provide:
Over £17,000 in grants to local organisations and churches to help families with essentials like food, gas and electricity and school uniforms.
Over £25,000 to local charities working with children and young people to enable them to keep giving practical and emotional support to disadvantaged young people and their families.
48 desktop computers to help secondary school pupils catch-up from lost teaching time.
14 laptops for primary school children without computers to access schoolwork remotely.
Access to first-class online resources for sixth formers to help them catch up on their learning.
More than 20 grants for families who are struggling to cover everyday costs due to the pandemic.
By pulling together, we have helped families across Elmbridge through this crisis.
There’s still time to donate and get your donation matched by us - £1 for £1.
