Provide funding for The 1010 Trust to feed the most vulnerable in South Ayrshire
Provide funding to The 1010 Trust to enable them to continue their vital work of feeding all those in our community who during this Coronavirus epidemic face poverty, illness and multiple issues of deprivation and are unable to buy food.
Why is this important?
The most vulnerable people in our community are unable to access paid for delivery services and Foodbank locations and are unable to feed themselves and their families. The restrictions of the Coronavirus outbreak and loss of income , benefits delays and self isolation led to The 1010 Trust setting up a service to deliver meals and food hampers to those in need. Since the start of the outbreak they have fed 20000 people . A key part of this has been local council funding and support from key workers who have been outstanding. Today South Ayrshire Council withdrew that funding and support jeopardising this vital service and risking thousands of people in South Ayrshire’s access to food
