Maldon Charity Services Respond to Rising Food and Energy Costs

Charities and churches in Maldon are offering community support and food services as rising food and energy costs affect household budgets. The Salvation Army Citadel runs a Community Café, which provides soup, a bread roll, cake, and a hot drink for £4. Christine, a regular visitor, stated that she attends for the community and support rather than just the food.

The need for increased community support reflects the pressure that rising food and energy costs are placing on local household budgets. These rising costs are prompting local charities to expand their services to assist residents.
