#PovertyHurts – Cost of Living Crisis appeal
Northamptonshire Community Foundation in partnership with local newspapers has launched its #PovertyHurts appeal to raise urgent funds to help tackle increasing poverty and the impact of the current cost of living crisis for some of our most vulnerable local residents and those already experiencing financial distress. It will ensure that people who have been plunged into poverty can get the support they need.
We are encouraging local residents that can afford to do so to donate all or part of the energy rebate to our #PovertyHurts appeal. If 2500 residents donated the energy rebate we would raise £1 million to support local charities and community groups providing a much needed lifeline and services to people in financial hardship in Northamptonshire. All donations are welcome no matter how small. Every act of generosity is welcome at this time.
