The Waltham Forest Community Help Network is crowdfunding to support vulnerable people during Christmas and into the New Year. WF Council needs your help.
Waltham Forest Council’s Community Help Network has launched a crowdfunding campaign to support vulnerable people during Christmas and into the New Year. We’ve once again been inspired by the response from residents and know that many of you want to help throughout the festive period. We’ve created a crowdfunding project so that residents whose circumstances allow, can donate to provide additional community support. For this crowdfunding campaign, Spacehive have waived their fees to support the community in Waltham Forest.
What we'll deliver:
Why it's a great idea:
Funds raised will go towards a Christmas Present Drive for those children who need it most and to support local charities tackling the issues of homelessness, food poverty, vulnerable families and loneliness so that they can continue to provide vital support to vulnerable residents. So many of our community have already come together to help each other, and by supporting this network, we can continue these amazing community efforts.

We have been inspired by the community response to the recent Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak and seeing so many people coming together to help each other in these uncertain times.
Waltham Forest Council has set up a Community Help Network to support our older and most vulnerable residents directly, as well as providing a way for residents to help each other.
This includes launching a helpline in partnership with Age UK Waltham Forest, local food banks and Waltham Forest Citizen Advice Bureau for those who are over 70 and don’t have easy access to community support, as well as those who have been advised by the NHS to self-isolate for 12 weeks in the same position. These partner organisations are doing a fantastic job of responding, and we have put in additional support to bring together smaller organisations across the borough so we can co-ordinate our efforts and reach as many people as possible.
The council is working with our partnership organisations to manage and fund increased demands in requests for help, and with supplies, staff, volunteers and logistics.
All money raised will go to directly to community organisations and volunteers to enhance the support further.
Thank you to the many groups and individuals who are supporting others in their neighbourhoods and across the borough.
