We’ve received some incredibly heart-warming news and lovely feedback from one of our guests, giving insight to the impact of our work:

“The Olive Branch has been an incredible resource for my family to access in our time of need, and thanks to the charity's generosity, when I resigned recently from my full-time job due to stress, the Olive Branch helped feed us as a family, and kept us going, whilst I figured out my situation and got back into employment.

If it wasn't for this service, we would be facing debt, and an already stressful situation would have worsened. Thankfully, due to the food we received, my job change and shortfall had little impact on my family and we were able to keep our spending to a minimum, whilst we resolved our financial situation.

We are incredibly grateful for the help we received and to the volunteers and staff for being so kind, welcoming and non-judgemental.

Thank you again for the support."

We are so glad we could be there for this family as they worked through this difficult time.
