Community foundation support for the frontline


Capital One helped provide meals


Businesses provide meals for children


An initiative by Open Kitchens delivered 12,000 freshly prepared meals to vulnerable children across Nottinghamshire during the school holidays. Holiday Hunger Notts ran over


five weeks until the end of August. The project raised more than £22,000 to fund the meals. One of the 11 restaurant kitchens


taking part in the scheme was based at Capital One’s Nottingham office. Head chef Jono Turland said:


“When lockdown struck, our usually busy office became very quiet. But instead of closing the kitchen, we helped Open Kitchens in providing to the people of Nottingham who needed it most.”


Leicestershire and Rutland Community Foundation has now donated more than £1m in emergency funding to “the frontline” of local charities and voluntary organisations helping people most in need during the coronavirus pandemic. Grants of between £500 and £10,000 have given a


lifeline to the often “unsung unseen” charitable groups across Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland, who were forced to quickly adapt their services and work tirelessly to help the most vulnerable in communities. Comprising money from the National Emergencies


Trust, local philanthropically-minded companies and individuals, and the Department of Culture, Media and Sport, the grants have helped support people who are elderly, disabled, homeless, in food poverty, facing financial hardship or suffering with mental health issues, across all communities in the city and counties. Leicestershire and Rutland Community Foundation


CEO Katy Green said: “We are proud to be part of the rapid response that has delivered crucial services to the people who have been hardest hit by the pandemic. “We always aim to distribute grants effectively for


local philanthropically-minded companies and families, and for government and other national agencies. Our small team has worked flat out over the past eight months to make sure that funding


quickly reaches areas where it is most needed. “We have been overwhelmed by the resilience of


our local charities, voluntary organisations and community groups who have been truly inspirational in looking after the health and wellbeing of those so severely affected by the crisis, and also by the generosity of our donors.”
