Poverty in Torbay has to stop. Help Anode fight poverty today!

Thank you for taking an interest in my blog. I am Ellie and I feel very strongly that poverty in Torbay should stop. This poverty ranges from homelessness to living without something and I think that we should all support Anode to help bring families out of poverty. Many people seem to overlook those who live on the streets or those who are deprived of something and this needs to change.

You might not be aware, but 1 in 4 children in Torbay are in families who struggle to pay for basic needs like food and clothing and heating. This means that 24% of children live in poverty! This is much higher than any other places in the UK and this is the problem Anode addresses. Anode aims to change lives, especially those of children, to enlighten them to a successful future. Let me tell you a story about Darcy. Darcy lives with her mum who has leukaemia and she has become a 24/7 carer for her. Darcy should not be living like this cooking, shopping and struggling with no money.  Anode has recently supplied them with food packages as part of their RESTORE plan. As a result Darcy is able to attend school regularly and her mum is given the necessary treatment that she needs. Their lives have been changed through Anode’s regular packages and the family has been kept together.

Helping Anode is a very practical way to help alleviate poverty.  Anode is a reputable charity which means that the money you donate or the food you give will be used wisely and will really benefit those living in poverty. Through your donations, we can help bring more people out of poverty and you can say, “I am fighting poverty with Anode”.  Anode is a local charity that is engaged and knowledgeable about the needs of the community. Anode provides a positive connection for the hundreds of families they assist.  Anode is the cornerstone families can rely on.
