Many people in our city are enjoying a brighter start to the New Year thanks to a £1,000 donation to local foodbanks from St Leger Homes staff as part of our Festive Foodbank Fundraiser.
Our staff raised the money by taking part in a Christmas raffle, bonus ball draw, tombola and other events. This was presented to the Trussell Trust foodbank and Mexborough Foodbank along with food items donated by St Leger Homes staff which will all be used to provide meals for households who need help.
The fundraiser was organised by our Tenancy Support Team, who help customers that have problems dealing with their finances, paying household bills and managing their tenancy.
Throughout the year the team refer many of our customers to local foodbanks. With this donation we are able to give something back by supporting the foodbanks that serve those in our communities who are struggling to feed themselves and their families. This was the seventh year our Tenancy Support Team have held the Festive Foodbank Fundraiser event.
Any St Leger Homes tenant who feels they need help with managing their tenancy or are struggling with their finances can get support from our Tenancy Support Team by visiting www.stlegerhomes.co.uk/advice-and-support
