About Us
At Haggerston Resource Support, we believe that community is the cornerstone of resilience, especially during times of hardship. As a charity, we are committed to supporting those in our local area who are facing financial strain. Our community gatherings provide a safe and welcoming space where essential household items such as tissues, washing powder, and washing-up liquid—are distributed to families in need. These everyday items, often taken for granted, can make a world of difference to those struggling to meet their basic needs.
We recognise the immense challenges many of our neighbours face, particularly those on benefits or those working tirelessly yet still finding it difficult to manage rising living costs. Our efforts go beyond material support; we aim to ease financial burdens so that families can focus on what matters most, without the constant worry of scarcity.
More than just providing resources, we foster a sense of connection and hope. We believe no one should face these difficulties alone. By coming together as a community, we can uplift each other with dignity, compassion, and care. Through collective effort, we are creating a more resilient and supportive Haggerston, where everyone can thrive despite adversity.
Our Mission
We are committed to empowering individuals and families in Haggerston to overcome the challenges of the cost of living crisis by providing essential resources, nurturing a supportive and inclusive community, and ensuring that no one is left behind in their journey towards financial stability and a dignified life.
How We Help
Twice a month, Haggerston Resource Support hosts resource sessions for local residents. During these sessions, members of the community can access:
Household essentials, including cleaning products, toiletries, and other daily necessities.
Guidance and support from our volunteers on navigating the challenges of the cost of living crisis.
A friendly and supportive environment where individuals can connect with others facing similar struggles.
Providing Relief for All
Why We Are Needed
In Haggerston, as in many parts of the UK, families are feeling the weight of the escalating costs of food, energy, and housing. For many, the pressure to make ends meet is overwhelming, and without adequate resources, it is becoming increasingly difficult to provide the essentials. This crisis is disproportionately affecting the most vulnerable, leaving many in our community feeling unsupported and isolated.
At Haggerston Resource Support, we are here to ease this burden. Our twice-monthly resource sessions provide essential items such as toiletries and cleaning supplies to help alleviate some of the financial pressure. But we are more than just a source of material support—we are a community that stands together. We offer a space where individuals can find comfort, solidarity, and hope, ensuring no one in Haggerston has to face these challenges alone.
Our Impact
Founded in 2024, Haggerston Resource Support was created to address the urgent needs of our community during a time of unprecedented financial hardship. We believe that everyone deserves access to the basic necessities that enable them to live with dignity and security, regardless of their financial circumstances.
Through the generosity of local volunteers and community partners, we work tirelessly to create a welcoming environment where individuals and families can find relief, encouragement, and a renewed sense of hope. By supporting one another, we are helping to foster resilience, restore confidence, and ensure that no one in Haggerston feels forgotten or unsupported.
