Wigan home care company teams up with local foodbank in worthwhile new project

The Brick is an anti-poverty charity that helps people at risk of homelessness or financial hardship. With over 100 years of service, it has been a lifeline for many people across the area.

Home Instead Wigan will be donating essential food items every month, collected by their care professionals and office staff, which will be much appreciated by families and individuals struggling financially due to rising living costs.

The Brick provides warm clothes, hygiene products, school uniforms, food and household furniture to people and families in the North West who are struggling to make ends meet.

Nick Hodgson, director of Home Instead Wigan, said: "The compassion and community service of The Brick reflects the amazing work of so many organisations and individuals, truly making a difference to so many people.

"At Home Instead we strive to support individuals and families every day and we are proud to be supporting this initiative, offering a helping hand to those who need it most.”

Home Instead Wigan encourages members of the community to get involved by volunteering or donating non-perishable food items. You can drop off donations at their office located in Wigan Investment Centre, Waterside Dr, Wigan WN3 5BA, and the team will donate them to The Brick.

“By working together, we can support the entire community, and offer a lifeline to those in need.” added Nick.
