Aspire Ryde is excited to announce a partnership with Isle of Wight Radio to deliver essential winter support to families and individuals across the Island.
This collaboration forms part of Aspire’s Community Winter Provision, aimed at addressing food insecurity, isolation and financial stress during the colder months.
What the funds will support
With rising costs impacting many households, Aspire is committed to ensuring no one is left behind this winter. Together with Isle of Wight Radio, they’re raising awareness and funds to provide:
- Fresh Food Hampers: Nutritious ingredients for families to prepare meals at home.
- Warm Spaces: Welcoming venues for residents to stay warm, connect, and avoid isolation.
- Pre-Frozen Meal Deliveries: For those unable to leave their homes.
- Social Groups and Community Meals: To foster connection and community spirit feeding over 30 people four days per week.
Matched funded by Aviva Community Fund
Thanks to the fundraising efforts, every £50 donation made through our Crowdfunder will be matched by the Aviva Community Fund, doubling the impact and allowing us to reach even more people in need. Isle of Wight Radio will play a key role in promoting the campaign, amplifying the message and connecting with listeners who want to make a difference.
Steve Johnson (Director of Community and Development) said,
“We’re delighted to partner with Isle of Wight Radio.
“Their support will help us spread the word and ensure vital resources reach the most vulnerable in our community.”
