 New Forest Rotary Club has responded to the challenge of Covid-19 by prioritising its financial support for food banks, following support already given to other essential charitable causes since the commencement of lockdown in March. Cash donations have been made to New Forest Basics Bank, covering an area as far north as Brockenhurst and Burley; to the Lyndhurst Welfare Charity food bank, covering the village and outlying communities; and to Youth & Families Matter, Totton food bank.

Although seemingly affluent areas, loss of income is causing immense hardship to many families, with pride often preventing deserving cases from seeking assistance. With Britain now struggling against a resurgence of the pandemic, further private sector job losses are anticipated in the coming months. The financial hardship caused to families is widely expected to increase the demand for food parcels within communities throughout the New Forest area.
