Fundraising officer Paula Daly said that times were tough for lots of Horsham District residents. “We are seeing more and more people using the foodbank for the first time but as always the Horsham community continues to show their generosity and help to support those less fortunate than themselves.
"We are really grateful to Hey!Broadband for supporting the event which we hope will be a great way to raise funds as well as being a fun event for all who take part.”
Horsham Matters is a charity that offers the provision of essential services (food, fuel and shelter) to those that need it most – in order to make a ‘positive, long-lasting impact on people’s lives’.

Horsham Matters said it has seen a huge rise in the number of families needing support through the town’s foodbank – stating that it fed 265 children in the last month alone.
The charity said: “The cost-of-living crisis is impacting everyone, but for those who were already struggling, the increase in costs has pushed them into making tough choices between bills, food and heating and we expect to see more people turning to us in the months to come.”
