The Buddy Scheme - Infographic

Our buddy scheme involves volunteers from our church and other churches in Canterbury providing weekly food parcels to families who’ve approached us through our Make Lunch project, or referred to us by the schools their children attend and are struggling financially during the C-19 crisis. Buddies shop for and deliver the food parcels, or if they’re not able to get out and about they fund others to do the shop. Here’s how they’re getting on…

Here’s what the buddies have been able to do so far…

Here’s how many families are getting a parcel from a buddy every week, and how many families who’ve asked us for help at some point but don’t have a buddy yet…

Obviously it’s amazing that we’ve been able to bless so many people through this scheme, and we’ve even been able to support some families who needed help when lockdown started until they no longer need our help! As you can see though there are still several families who would really appreciate having support from a buddy, so if you’d like to find out more about the scheme, or sign up to be a buddy then click the button below:
