CorrBoard UK started the countdown to Christmas early with a donation to The Forge Project, the charity supporting the homeless and roofless within Scunthorpe.
Believing the festive season is about giving back, the funds received from CorrBoard will be used to positively change the lives of those attending The Forge Project and its Day Centre. This includes signposting to services including the Housing Advice Team, drug and alcohol agencies, mental health agencies and Scunthorpe and District MIND. Open all year round, the project has engaged with 371 individuals, received 8,335 visits and served 6,057 hot meals during 2024 to some of the most deprived people within the community.
Manager at The Forge Project, Andrea Houghton, comments, “We would like to take this opportunity to thank CorrBoard for their donation. It’s thanks to support like this from local businesses that we can deliver our services all year round. We hope that we can make a lasting and positive difference to those within our community that are facing homelessness or find themselves without a roof over their heads. With partnerships in place and signposting services, we hope that the need for our services will become a requirement of Christmas past.”
