Double your gift with Big Give this December

Give to our Big Give appeal between 12pm on Tuesday 1st December and 12pm on Tuesday 8th December, and your gift will be doubled. Your £25 becomes £50, at no extra cost to you.

Your gift will help us open a second Bridge food club, so more people can move on from needing a food bank.

We have £17,150 of match funding for this appeal, from the Reed Foundation and supporters who have pledged to our match fund. Our target is £34,300.

The Bridge helps people move on from needing a food bank

Around 7,000 households turn to our food bank outlets for emergency food each year. A parcel gets them through the week. It does not change why they ran out.

The Bridge does. Since 2024, our food club in Lockleaze has given members low-cost food each week, plus a support worker who helps them claim grants and benefits. This year, households we tracked have gained or saved over £1,200 each.
