Redrow Redrow Homes donates £1,000 to ECHO's Share Your Lunch Christmas campaign
Redrow Homes is donating £1,000 to the Liverpool ECHO newspaper's Share Your Lunch Christmas campaign. The publication is looking to raise £10,000 to help ensure that no Merseyside family goes hungry on Christmas Day. ECHO has partnered with Can Cook and every £10 raised will feed a family of four, so Redrow's contribution will help to feed 100 families. Last year, 60,000 people in Merseyside accessed a food bank, while thousands more borrowed money to buy food or else went hungry.

The Liverpool ECHO’s Share Your Lunch Christmas campaign has been given a brilliant boost.

Housebuilder Redrow Homes is donating £1,000, as we bid to raise £10,000 to ensure no Merseyside family goes hungry on Christmas Day .

The ECHO has teamed up with Can Cook, the social enterprise based in Speke, and every £10 raised will be enough to feed a family of four. This means Redrow’s contribution will help us feed 100 families.

In the last year alone, 60,000 people in Merseyside accessed a food bank, feeding up to 25,000 children.

Thousands more people, who don’t use food banks, will have borrowed money to buy food or gone silently hungry.

Gareth Stansfield, senior development manager for Redrow’s Liverpool Housing Partnership, said: “Redrow is well known for building family homes across the city and this appeal really touched our hearts.

“Many of our customers will be fortunate enough to be sitting down to Christmas lunch in a brand new home but not everyone will be so lucky.

“It’s reassuring to know that our donation will help 100 families in less fortunate circumstances to enjoy a freshly prepared meal by Can Cook on Christmas Day.”

ECHO editor Ali Machray said: “The Share Your Lunch Christmas campaign is such an important campaign and so we are naturally delighted to receive this generous donation. I would like to thank Redrow Homes for their kindness.

“I would also like to thank everyone who has made donations so far – whether big or small. Every pound we raise will be vital.”
