Doing our bit, however small, in uncertain times…

Our fantastic team here at Stan Sherlock Associates has collectively donated groceries and other essential supplies to two vital local charities.

Recognising that the COVID-19 pandemic has made life even more difficult for many local people, our team has donated bags of groceries, toiletries and cleaning supplies to the Carlisle Foodbank and Carlisle Key.

Many families and local people have suddenly found themselves without an income because of the Coronavirus pandemic. While the Government’s support measures have been welcomed, there are still many people who have been missed and are struggling to manage their day to day costs.

Our team is amazing, and thanks to them and the investment we’ve made in the right technology and systems, we are able to continue working and offering our clients the personal advice and service they need without meeting face to face. They recognised, however, that many others aren’t as fortunate and wanted to help.

Carlisle Foodbank can provide up to three days of emergency food for those in crisis who have been referred to them. They depend on food donations and the support of many volunteers. Carlisle Key works with young people aged 16-25 who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. They empower young people through knowledge, support, and confidence. They’ve recently appealed for toiletries and household cleaning products to help their young people build independent lives.

While so many local people are working long hours in key businesses to help look after us all, we also wanted to give something back. Doing our bit, however small, is the right thing to do as a local family firm.
