Wokingham Foodbank provides emergency food and practical support to people in their hardest moments. We also work with partners and local communities to ensure everyone gets the right help long before they need a foodbank.

Christmas 2024

Fuel Support - Winter Appeal

The gift of giving!

 

Are you looking to give back this Christmas?

Wokingham Foodbank are launching a WINTER APPEAL to raise funds to support Wokingham Borough residents struggling to pay energy bills. Your donation can help heat up homes and keep the lights on.  

 

The cost of living has risen faster than wages. 

Gas prices are up 67% in just five years.

Electricity bills have jumped 51%.

Food prices are up 37%.
 

A small monetary donation helps give a fuel voucher to someone forced to choose between heating and eating. Your gift today can help provide food, warmth and hope.
