Blackburn Foodbank has seen an increase in people asking for support with their gas and electricity bills. We want to create a fund that will help people in all circumstances have a warmer winter by distributing fuel vouchers to those who truly need them.
We also want to create a warm and welcoming area for people to sit and wait while we are packing their food parcels or getting to know them. We believe that visiting the Foodbank may be the only warmth some of our service users will experience for the week.
You can help us achieve this by donating to our fuelbank fund.
