CityPlym Coummnity SUpport Hub
"Coummnity SUpport Hub for Students, Thier Families and Local Community"
Our current initiative was launched in December 2019, in response to the needs of our student community. A group of Access to Higher Education students realised that a group of their peers were struggling financially and were often unable to afford basic food items. To address this issue they approached the students union for assistance in establishing a food bank, a project that has developed swiftly and supported many students, particularly during the lockdown period of COVID 19. In May 2022, due to the additinal services added (honelessness, personal hygiene, young parents, clothing) our initiative was relaunched as CityPlym Community SUpport Hub.
We have some amazingly generous students and staff that continue to donate food, clothing and other personal and houshold items on a regular basis, but feel our reach could be greater within the local community. Throughout this initiative we have worked alongside local community projects to promote our support services, which now include help for homeless students and those experiencing financial hardship.
So, the journey so far has really shown how we as a College can step up and support our local communities in a time of need, above and beyond our normal day to day work. As you will know food banks and similar support hubs are continuing to see a rise in demand due to the financial hardships experienced by many and we anticipate that this is only going to get worse in the run up to Christmas.
Provide additional help and support to our student and local community through the purchase of additional food products and equipment. We will also commit to assisting the Plymouth Food Action Network in the execution of their food collection and distribution service in support of local communities.
