Volunteering
Supporting local food banks
CCHA’s Charity and Volunteering Committee (CVC) have been busy over the last few months. Following the success of the CVC’s first volunteering day at Susan’s Farm, our relationship with the farm continues to thrive. CCHA colleagues returned to the farm, eager to contribute their volunteer time and effort once more. Susan’s Farm, a working Care Farm and registered charity, remains dedicated to providing invaluable opportunities for people from disadvantaged backgrounds to develop new skills and gain practical work experience. Through purposeful outdoor activities, the farm endeavours to transform lives and empower people to reach their full potential. Farm Manager Helen expressed her gratitude for the support, emphasising the significant impact of the collective effort in achieving meaningful work outcomes.
This year, CCHA colleagues continued to support local food banks. Thanks to the efforts of our CVC, a charity raffle raised £297 benefiting The Trussell Trust (Newcastle), Carlisle Foodbank, and North Lakes Foodbank (Cockermouth). Colleagues also donated food and toiletries, and hope that together, these contributions will help those most in need within our communities.
