CorrBoard’s Christmas Donation Boosts Support for The Forge Project
CorrBoard UK, the sheet-feeding specialist, has made a donation to The Forge Project, a charity supporting the homeless and roofless within Scunthorpe.
Agreed before the Christmas break, the funds received have been used to positively change the lives of those attending The Forge Project and its Day Centre. This includes signposting to services including the Housing Advice Team, drug and alcohol agencies, mental health agencies and Scunthorpe and District MIND.
The project is open all year round and has engaged with 371 individuals, received 8,335 visits and served 6,057 hot meals during 2024 to some of the most deprived people within the community.
Amanda Slinn, Head of HR for CorrBoard comments: “As a team, we believe that Christmas is a time for reflection and giving back. Sharing a donation with The Forge Project was just one way that we could spread some festive cheer and have a positive impact on those that need it most.
"Thanks to charities like The Forge Project, people within our community can get the support and help they need!”
Andrea Houghton, Manager at The Forge Project, comments: “We would like to take this opportunity to thank CorrBoard for their donation. It’s thanks to support like this from local businesses that means we can deliver our services all year round.
"We hope that we can make a lasting and positive difference to those within our community who are facing homelessness or find themselves without a roof over their heads. With partnerships in place and signposting services, we hope that the need for our services will become a requirement of Christmas past.”
