Can you help?
As a small charity, we thought it would be interesting to let people see some of the regular payments we have to make to keep things running smoothly here at The Edge!
- It costs around £166 a month to keep our mini bus running – without this, we wouldn’t be able to make collections and deliveries for our shop nor use it for transporting our young volunteers to the community garden, allotment and local beaches to clean in the Summer.
- Our hot water and heating all run on a wood-fired burner. Each load of specially kiln dried logs costs us £480 a time.
- On average, it costs us £300 a month for all our printing and photocopying costs, which is a vital part of our support work when we help people with benefit forms.
- Last year, our Grotto cost us around £3100 to run for the community. As many know, our Grotto is free and we rely on donations (monetary, item based and labour time!) to keep it going every year.
- On average we pay £22 a week to run our washing machine and tumble dryer, which those without a fixed address or washing facilities are able to use.
- Our food bank costs us around £87 a week to stock up on important and essential items to provide the people of Brixham a range of meals.
- We pay around £38 a month to keep our fridges and freezers running – helping us provide fresh food and frozen items to those accessing our food bank and community fridge.
- It costs us around £3.80 a week, boiling the kettle, for all the cups of tea and coffee we make in our community cafe, music sessions, activities and whilst supporting people.
Over the last year we have seen, spoken to or had other contact with over 13,376 people and we are proud to continue to help those in our community.
If you feel you would like to support the charity, please get in touch with us on 01803851414 or email info@yesbrixham.org.uk. We appreciate every single person who helps keep the charity going, from donations and voluntary time to buying items in our charity shop. Thank you!
