Port of Milford Havens ramps up community support during cost of living crisis
Port of Milford Havens ramps up community support during cost of living crisis -- The Port of Milford Haven has been taking action to increase support for its local community as the cost of living soars and individuals, charities and small businesses struggle to make ends meet.
Throughout Pembrokeshire there are many charitable organisations working hard to support people who find themselves in difficulty, whether that be through a lack of food, clothing or accommodation. To provide immediate assistance directly to those who need it most, the Port has partnered with PATCH and Pembrokeshire Foodbank and donated £5,000 to each charity to enable them to purchase additional food supplies for those in need over the winter period.
The Port has also donated £5,000 to Pembrokeshire Care Society, which supports over 2,000 people facing hardship every year, helping them with everything from mental health to accommodation. With around 20-30 rough sleepers in Pembrokeshire currently known to the charity, the Port’s donation will go towards rough sleeper packs to keep people experiencing homelessness safe and warm this Christmas.
As a long-standing supporter of local youth organisation Milford Youth Matters, having worked with them on the annual Under the Bridge project for a number of years, the Port partnered with them again on a new project, Winter Warmer Nights. With funding from the Port, Winter Warmer Nights was able to run weekly at Milford United Football Club offering young people the opportunity to socialise with friends and enjoy a hot meal in a warm, safe environment.
Chief Executive at the Port of Milford Haven, Tom Sawyer, said “This is a tough time for many and we want to help the local community as much as possible to weather the storm. There are some fantastic charities in Pembrokeshire that are addressing major social problems such as food poverty and homelessness, so we hope that our contributions will make a difference to people accessing those services.”
