Enness Global has chosen the North Paddington Food Bank (NPFB) as its charitable cause for the 2024 winter season.
NPFB is the largest emergency food aid charity in Westminster and has been providing local residents with access to emergency food since its establishment in 2014.
In 2021, NPFB adopted a ‘cash first’ approach, offering emergency income through supermarket food vouchers along with advice to help address the root causes of food insecurity.
Enness Global will support NPFB by raising funds throughout the winter season and promoting its work in the community.
Islay Robinson (pictured), CEO at Enness Global, said: “Although Westminster, home to both Enness’s HQ and the North Paddington Foodbank, is one of the wealthiest wards in the UK capital, it is also home to many residents who rely on support to meet the rising cost of living.
“At Enness, we believe in empowering individuals, both in their financial situation and overall well-being.
“I’m therefore delighted we’re able to support NPFB’s cost-of-living appeal and help households navigate the ongoing challenges of the cost-of-living crisis, which are expected to intensify this winter.”
Thomas Delap, head of charity at North Paddington Foodbank, said: “Often the need for emergency food aid arises from temporary situations of low and insecure income – often connected to poorly paid work and/or insufficient benefits, which can be exacerbated by sudden income shocks.
“I’m personally delighted that Enness Global has chosen to support our cause this year.
“As a prominent local financial business, it’s clear we share common values and a commitment to empowering individuals to overcome food insecurity. Their support will help community initiatives go even further this winter.”
