At Essential Recruitment, we’re proud to be supporting the incredible work of the Burton YMCA Food Bank – and we’re inviting local businesses and community members to join us in making a real difference.
The Food Bank provides vital support to individuals and families across Burton who are facing hardship. With 2,225 emergency food parcels already distributed since the start of the year, the need is greater than ever. Alongside food support, the YMCA also offers accommodation for single homeless adults aged 18–64, mediation and counselling services, homelessness awareness sessions for young people aged 14–18, and much more.
