Tell us about your premises or where your project operates from I don’t have a specific premises for my activities. I’m based at my home, and I also operate some of my social work through my local church. Who do you help and how do you find them? How do you identify the people who need your services? I identify people in need through my church community. There, I meet families and individuals who are struggling including unemployed people, families with children, and those undergoing cancer treatment who cannot work. Together with my family (my husband, my mother, and a small group of volunteers), we collect food and deliver it directly to these homes. What support are you looking to receive from Neighbourly and how will this help you? (food surplus/volunteering/grants) We would love to receive food surplus donations to support vulnerable families in our community. This would help us reach more people in need and provide consistent support to those who are facing financial and health challenges. Do you charge for your services?
