Nobody Should Be Hungry - The Deli Group

No Questions. No Judgement. Nobody Should be Hungry.
The Deli Group have launched our Christmas Campaign - www.nobodyshouldbehungry.co.uk - offering FREE Christmas Dinners for those in need across the St Helens and Newton-Le-Willows areas.
We're funding this ourselves as much as we are able to, working in conjunction with many of our key suppliers, however lots of incredibly kind and generous customers, friends and neighbours have asked about contributing so that we can help even more people.
We've always been clear that we're not a charity, and we were reluctant to become involved with handling donations as it's so easy for good intentions to be misconstrued or misinterpreted where money is concerned. Having said that, we realise that there is only so much we can do with our own limited resources and the goodwill of our suppliers, so having taken some advice we've set up this GoFundMe page as a means to transparently collect any contributions which you wonderful people may like to make towards this initiative.
To keep things as transparent and open as possible, we've also opened an entirely separate, ring fenced bank account - and we will regularly share details of any contributions and expenditure both here and via our Dentons Deli and Newton Deli social media accounts.
As we've no idea what the cost of providing these meals will be until all bookings are confirmed, it's difficult to set a budget or to stop accepting contributions once the cost has been met, therefore again to keep things open and to ensure that nobody benefits unfairly from the generosity of others, we've decided to donate any surplus to St Helens Foodbank, and again we will share details of this publicly.
Thank you all so very much for your help and support. By working together, we can make such a difference to the lives of those locally who may otherwise be hungry this Christmas.
Please see below details of the campaign -
For many years we’ve not sent Christmas cards or gifts outside of our immediate family, instead giving a donation either of money or our time to charity, to help those in need.
This year, we’ve decided to try to do our bit in ensuring that nobody living locally has to go hungry. Whatever the reasons, and putting politics and judgement aside, far too many people - both adults and children - are going without the food they need to live, which is totally unacceptable when so many have far more than they need. We may not have a lot ourselves, but what little we have we’d like to share to hopefully make things a little easier for others.
So, The Deli Group are pleased to announce the launch of our “Nobody Should Be Hungry” campaign - www.nobodyshouldbehungry.co.uk
If you’re finding things a struggle, or you know somebody who is, we’d like to invite you to book a FREE Christmas Dinner, which will be freshly prepared and delivered on Monday 23rd December between 4pm and 8pm. All meals will be delivered hot and ready to eat, or can be safely kept and re-heated on Christmas Day.
Book online now at www.nobodyshouldbehungry.co.uk - we’re going to work with our suppliers to provide as many meals as we can, but places will be limited both by availability and the time it will take to prepare and deliver so many meals, therefore please book early to avoid disappointment.
Both adult and child sized portions are available, along with the option to collect from our Newton Deli shop or for the meals to be delivered to you at home.
No Questions, No Judgement. NOBODY should EVER be hungry.
Love from Viv, Marc and all of the Deli Group team. x x
