Since 2018, we’ve been a proud and regular supporter of Maundy Relief, an award-winning charity based in Accrington, Lancashire. As a team, we’ve been contributing to their invaluable work, helping to meet the immediate needs of people within the local community. During key times like Christmas and school summer holidays, our staff generously donate food items for their food bank, making a meaningful difference to families in need.
Recently, we received a message from Maundy Relief expressing their gratitude for our contributions:
“Thank you all for your generosity, it will help the families during the school holidays.”
“We are very grateful for the lovely food donation – just what we needed! And much appreciated.”
About Maundy Relief
Established in 1998, Maundy Relief has been a cornerstone of support for individuals facing a wide range of challenges. Whether it’s providing food, accommodation, or health services, the charity’s approach is inclusive and immediate, ensuring that those who need help get it without delay.
What makes Maundy Relief unique is their informal, person-centred approach. They refer to those using their services as “guests” and believe that these individuals are best placed to define their own needs. This respect and dignity create an open, welcoming environment where everyone feels supported.
Comprehensive Support Services
Maundy Relief offers a variety of services, addressing the most pressing needs of their guests:
- Food and Accommodation: Immediate assistance through food parcels and housing support.
- Mental and Physical Health Services: Counselling and medical support to help people manage their wellbeing.
- Benefit Advice: Helping individuals navigate the often complex benefits system, ensuring they receive the support they are entitled to.
By combining these services, Maundy Relief strives for sustainable change, supporting those facing financial hardship, social exclusion, and health issues. For many, the charity’s holistic support is a lifeline that helps them navigate difficult times and achieve a better quality of life.
Why We Support Maundy Relief
We believe that supporting Maundy Relief is an essential part of giving back to our community. Their work with vulnerable individuals, many of whom lead chronically unstable lives, is truly inspiring. Whether it’s providing a one-off food parcel or supporting someone over the long term with housing and health services, Maundy Relief is there every step of the way.
This local charity not only serves the people of Hyndburn but also reaches out to those in East Lancashire when resources allow. Their commitment to helping everyone, regardless of race, religion, gender, or sexuality, is a mission we are honoured to support.
