This reduces the impact of poverty, the risk of experiencing homelessness, and feelings of loneliness.

This week, Bill Baughen and Cllr Zilliah Brooks visited the Yellow Brick Road Charity to give a cheque for £500 to chief executive Sioban Down, with helpers Karen Birks and Luke Stephens.

The money was given by The Sofa Club, a small group of fundraisers who specialise in organising events and raising money for smaller charities where donations of any size can go a long way to providing services and offering support and help in the local area.
