At this time of year, Soundcraft would traditionally deliver festive client gifts and hampers, however, with so many people in such great need during the cost-of-living crisis, Soundcraft’s directors have instead chosen to support two important local charities.
In a bid to provide help where it can matter most, Soundcraft’s Christmas donation of £1500 will be shared equally between two crucial charities working tirelessly to provide food and shelter in the community – Bromley Homeless and Bromley Borough Foodbank.
Providing emergency food to people in crisis, Bromley Borough Foodbank is part of a nationwide network of foodbanks, supported by The Trussell Trust, working to combat poverty and hunger across the UK. Amanda Stone, Chief Operating Officer at Bromley Borough Foodbank said: “We don’t think anyone in our community should have to face going hungry this Christmas. That’s why we provide seven days of nutritionally balanced emergency food and maximise income support advice to local people who are referred to us to help them get back on their feet. The donation from Soundcraft will help feed many vulnerable people across our community and will allow us to continue serving those that need us – thank you for your kindness and generosity.”

Bromley Homeless helps homeless people in Bromley with emergency accommodation. It also provides a confidential Advice Service with friendly trained staff to offer practical support. “We are all incredibly grateful to Soundcraft for their generous donation, as are the people who rely on us for support,” said Mark Johnson, Trustee and Chair of the Fundraising Committee for Bromley Homeless. “We’re a small charity trying to make a big difference, so it’s absolutely amazing when people think of us and donate money that they’d ordinarily spend on themselves or on their clients at Christmas.”
