Foyle Foodbank to offer winter support advice in Derry estates and shopping centres from next week
Foyle Foodbank to offer winter support advice at a number of public information events across different areas of Derry, starting in Strathfoyle on Monday.
The November project has been developed in partnership with Derry City & Strabane District Council with Winter Support information events to roll out to the public offering help and support for anyone experiencing hardship going into winter 2023.
A spokesperson for the Foodbank said: “Our focus will be on the cost-of-living crisis for these events.
"The idea is to have a suite of services available. The areas we would like to offer advice and support are, benefits advice, energy advice, managing money advice, and food bank support.
