2025 has been busy so far for ERFPA and it’s members, and following the recent welfare cuts stated in the Spring Statement, charities across the UK are going to be stretched even further. Since January ERFPA has already seen in increase in individuals accessing services for support across the East Riding, which is predicted to increase as the year continues.
Despite this, ERFPA members have continued to provide support to their communities and we have had; a 20 year milestone, the opening of a new Community Pantry, charity registrations and new members. There has been the development of new initiatives; keeping people warm over winter, supplying energy vouchers and an exciting building project.
