Project Summary

Lat year we got £1000 from PB, which we used to run a Hot Hub twice a week from January - April. We were very successful and our community used us for the hot roll, hot soup or hot drink. Many people struggle with their mental health and unemployment, and we know this isn't getting any better, so by doing this we can look after parents so that they can feed their children. We also helped people with their bills, money and job searching.

Project Description

Last year's Hot Hub saw 1,704 hot drinks, 800 cups of soup and 879 rolls made available to our community to help relieve the burden of heating or eating over the winter.

It's open to anyone and as you see above from the numbers, there was great demand. This year we would love to do it again but this time improve the service by inviting in Third Sector and other partners to help people with the concerns they have around bills, money or their benefits. We hope that by looking after the adults they will have the energy they need to look after themselves and their family well over winter -  no one should be going to bed cold or hungry in 2026. The Hot Hub gives people a helping hand which is all thatmost people feel they need -  just a chat.

Breakdown of costs for 12 weeks:

• Rolls £315
• Soup £480
• Hot drink £100
• Filled rolls £200

Towards the end of last year's Hot Hub we got donations in too, so we also have £150 from those donations to help start us off for next year.
