Our recent fundraising efforts have helped support Community Food Initiatives North East (CFINE),
a vital resource for vulnerable individuals and families in Aberdeen and the surrounding area.
As part of the Aberdeen office’s participation in our Halloween bake-off at the start of November (an effort that would have made Mary Berry proud), staff raised £280, which the company generously doubled.
Office Manager Lesley Allan and Marketing Coordinator Sarah Gardyne visited the local Tesco Extra store, using the funds raised to purchase essential items for the food bank. Essentials that CFINE was running low on were prioritised, such as cereal, rice, pasta, other non-perishable food, household essentials, pet essentials, and childcare.
Poverty affects over one million people in Scotland, including 240,000 children. By providing immediate food assistance, CFINE also works with families to address the underlying issues they face, offering long-term support and a path to greater stability.
