Matched funding set to help High Peak families this winter

Zink CEO Paul Bohan at the charity's HQ

Up until 17 January, donations made to High Peak charity The Zink Project will be matched thanks to a Co-op Scheme. 

The charity, which runs High Peak Foodbank, will use the funding to support local families this winter as Zink HQ will be open as a warm space during the day and on Tuesday evenings providing meals and activities for families. 

Under the scheme, every pound donated will be matched penny for penny up to £250 by the Co-op. This means donations of £20 become £40, £100 become £200 but to qualify must be made through the Crowdfunder website.  

Donations to the appeal can be made at https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/warm-space-at-zink-hq 

In addition to the foodbank, Zink runs a community eco café which is open to all but offers discounts to families on low income and is free for foodbank users.  

Zink HQ, in Buxton, runs a weekly timetable of activities ranging from a School of Rock to walking group, Knit Happens to board game meet-ups as well as CV workshops and work coach support to help people get jobs.
