Our Schools Adviser Report

Our Schools Adviser project came about because our charity works

very closely with Morecambe Bay Foodbank, who also run a School

Uniform Project. We have seen an increase in referrals to the

foodbank over recent years from families, and the Uniform Project

has seen a huge rise in demand as the Cost of Living Crisis has hit

families.

Our aim is to help people avoid destitution and food bank use by

ensuring that incomes are maximised, debts are minimised and

advice and help are provided where other problems are affecting

family wellbeing, so that people can find a way forward to solve the

problems they are facing.

Our pilot project has completed one year and we are excited by how

impactful this project has been. We are now looking to secure further

funding to extend the work across Lancaster District.
