With the cost-of-living crisis and benefit reductions, more and more people are struggling to provide food for their families. Hunger in the UK isn’t about lack of food, it’s about lack of income and everyone should be able to afford the basic necessities.
In the last year, Foodbanks have given out 2.1 million emergency food parcels with nearly 1 million of these going to children. That is an increase of 14% compared to the same period in 2019/20 and unfortunately things are predicted to get worse. With this in mind, ISO Quality Services will be re-launching their award-winning Bingo Box challenge, helping to feed families this Christmas. The idea of the campaign is simple, all you need to do is complete a bingo sheet which includes items the Foodbank needs the most by Friday 25th November. These can then be donated to our local Worcester Foodbank. Cash donations are also welcome and will be used to purchase the items needed.
Last year the campaign received a great response, with over 30 participants donating 46 bingo boxes as well as over £500 in cash donations. ISO Quality Services Ltd are looking to beat last year’s donation amount and are hoping more companies will participate in providing more families a Merry Christmas. Not to mention that the company will also be giving out prizes for ‘First Donation Made’, ‘First Box Completed’ and ‘Best Decorated Box’.
If you want to make a difference to a family this Christmas, please email [email protected] for your Bingo Sheets or to make a cash donation.

Together we can make a difference this Christmas.
