Our contribution helps Citizens Advice New Forest reach out at Food Larder
Citizens Advice New Forest has thanked ExxonMobil Fawley for its contribution towards a new pilot scheme aimed at helping people to access its vital services. The charity has received £1,500 from the site to help fund an outreach service to sit alongside the Food Larder project, a community partnership that helps those on low incomes to make their money go further by reducing food shopping bills.
Alison Talbot, chief officer for Citizens Advice New Forest, said: “The aim is to have a Citizens Advice representative present at the Food Larder to offer support, advice and information. It means that anyone who comes along can also chat to one of our team if they would like to. This generous contribution from ExxonMobil Fawley is helping to pilot this initiative at Food Larders in Marchwood, Hythe, Blackfield, and Calshot.”
Angharad Vaughan, community affairs adviser at ExxonMobil Fawley, said: “Citizens Advice New Forest provides a valuable service to many people in our community. We are delighted to support this pilot initiative and hope it will help many more people in need of advice to access the support.”
