Dandara Living has supported One Can Trust through donations of essential food and household items, helping the charity support individuals and families facing hardship across High Wycombe.
As part of this edition, Dandara Living is highlighting the work of One Can Trust and the difference it makes to people and families across the local area.
One Can Trust – supporting local people when it matters most
One Can Trust is a local charity serving High Wycombe and south Buckinghamshire, providing practical support to individuals and families facing financial hardship. Since 2011, the charity has worked to ensure that no one in the community goes without essential food or support during difficult times.
While the foodbank is at the heart of its work, One Can Trust offers much more than emergency food parcels. Its Community Support Team provides advice, guidance and signposting, to help people access wider services and support. The charity also runs initiatives including toddler groups, a community café and clothes banks, creating opportunities for people to connect and build confidence.
Community support is essential to everything One Can Trust does. Hundreds of volunteers give their time to sort donations, pack and deliver food parcels, support community projects and collect food from local supermarkets.
There are many ways to get involved. Individuals, schools, community groups and businesses can volunteer, organise fundraising activities or donate food and money. The charity regularly shares its most needed items, making it easy for local people to contribute.
Every donation helps provide food, practical support and hope to local people when they need it most.
One mum shared honestly: “Things are hard. My outgoings are more than my income, and I’m trying to do the right thing. We have a mortgage and both work, but I always make sure my children are fed first. My husband and I only eat if there is anything left. The One Can food parcels and community projects have been a lifesaver for us.”
