🎉 Two Years With Citizens Advice Rushmoor

6th May 2026

This month marks an important milestone — two years since we welcomed a Citizens Advice Rushmoor advisor into our distribution centres. What began as a partnership has become something much more: a vital, joined-up service for the people who walk through our doors.

We are proud to work in partnership with Citizens Advice Rushmoor to provide more than just emergency food support to those who come to us for help.

At both of our foodbank distribution centres, a Citizens Advice advisor is available during sessions. Alongside essential food supplies, individuals and families can access expert guidance on benefits, budgeting, housing, and debt — all in the same place. This means we can respond more holistically to the challenges people are facing.

For many, a foodbank visit is just one part of a much bigger picture. Rising living costs, unexpected life changes, and ongoing health conditions can all contribute to financial difficulty. Through this partnership, we help address the root causes of crisis — not just the immediate need.

📊 Two Years of Impact

👥 175 people supported through Citizens Advice at our sessions

💷 £100,000 secured in financial gains

📉 £40,000 of debt managed

✅ £40,000 of debt written off

Over the past two years, this partnership has offered not only practical help, but hope for the future — helping people move towards greater stability, confidence, and independence.

We are incredibly grateful to Citizens Advice Rushmoor for their ongoing collaboration, and we are currently exploring funding opportunities to ensure this vital role can continue long-term.
