LBC Directors and staff are pleased to have been able to support the following local charities in 2022 with generous donations made to each.
Wood Street Mission
Wood Street Mission help support families living on a low income in Manchester and Salford, with practical help and services. They help with children’s clothes, school uniforms, toys, bedding, baby equipment and toiletries through their Family Basics service. They also arrange Book Clubs, where families can pick up books to take home and have a fun morning together during school holidays.
Chichester District Food Bank
Our foodbank is part of The Trussell Trust’s network of 428 foodbanks, working to tackle food poverty and hunger in our local communities, as well as across the UK. The Foodbank Network was founded in 2004 after four years of developing the original foodbank based in Salisbury. Since then The Trussell Trust has helped communities work together to launch foodbanks nationwide in a wide range of towns and cities.
Hospiscare

If you’ve been diagnosed with any type of terminal illness, our expert doctors and nurses are here to help. Our services include support at home, a specialist palliative care ward, out-patients clinics, and supportive therapies.
Essex & Herts Air Ambulance (EHAAT)
A truly life-saving Charity kept airborne thanks to everyone who plays their Lottery, makes a donation, enjoys their events, fundraises and volunteers in aid of EHAAT. Their aim is to save lives, reduce or prevent disability, or suffering from critical illness and injury, by delivering a first class pre-hospital emergency medical service to the people of Essex, Hertfordshire and surrounding areas.
Crisis

Battersea
Expert care is at the very heart of Battersea and they take in every animal who needs them. Providing lots of love and expert care and getting to know their characters and quirks so they can find a new home that’s just right for them.
MacMillan Cancer Support
