Operation Community Hamper (OCH) is launching its Easter appeal alongside a programme of community fundraising events.
Alongside the appeal, OCH has events lined up to raise funds so it can continue providing support to families.
Charlotte Churchill, CEO, said: “We are always amazed at how the community get behind every OCH fundraiser we do. An exceptionally busy Christmas, with over 1,300 hampers delivered, has left our funds a little depleted, so we need to raise as much as we can for this year’s campaign.
“It doesn’t matter if it’s £20 or £200, you can be guaranteed that every pound you raise will be going towards making someone’s circumstances better throughout the year, but especially at Christmas.”
