Enness Global has taken a significant step by partnering with the North Paddington Food Bank (NPFB) for the 2024 winter season. As the leading emergency food aid charity in Westminster, NPFB plays a crucial role in supporting local residents during times of financial hardship. Established in 2014, the charity has continuously provided critical services to those facing food insecurity.
In 2021, NPFB evolved its support methods by implementing a ‘cash first’ approach. This initiative involves giving out supermarket food vouchers, allowing recipients to have more choice and dignity in meeting their dietary needs. Additionally, NPFB provides guidance to help individuals address the fundamental issues causing their food insecurity, creating a more holistic solution to the problem.
Enness Global has committed to supporting NPFB by raising funds and increasing public awareness about the charity’s efforts. This initiative aims to ensure that NPFB’s essential services continue uninterrupted throughout the winter season, a time when financial strains are often amplified for many households.
Islay Robinson, CEO of Enness Global, highlighted the socio-economic divide in Westminster, noting that while it is among the wealthiest areas in the country, many residents still face financial challenges. Robinson stated, “At Enness, we believe in empowering individuals, both in their financial situation and overall well-being.” This highlights the firm’s dedication to alleviating the cost-of-living pressures exacerbated by the ongoing economic climate.
Thomas Delap, head of charity at North Paddington Foodbank, echoed the importance of this partnership. He stressed that the demand for emergency food often stems from unstable income and unexpected financial disruptions. Delap expressed delight at Enness Global’s involvement, underscoring shared values and dedication to helping the community overcome food insecurity.
This collaboration between Enness Global and NPFB underscores a collective effort to tackle food insecurity in Westminster, particularly during challenging times.
