Haringey Giving Week is back

Haringey Giving Week 2021 will take place for the third time between Tuesday 30 November and Monday 6 December 2021.

The annual fundraising event from Haringey generates vital donations, supporting grant donations to local organisations throughout the year ahead.

During the past 18 months Haringey Giving has been a lifeline to the borough, distributing over £460,000 in grants to over 100 local grass roots community projects and supporting thousands of the area’s most vulnerable people and communities.

Why your support is needed now

The annual event is more important than ever. Many residents are facing overwhelming challenges and already struggling to make ends meet. The pandemic has had a profound impact:

• Haringey has the highest unemployment claimant rate in the UK (11.4%) and one of the
  highest proportion of people aged 16-65 on universal credit in the UK.
• Furlough rates in Tottenham were among the highest seen nationally.
• People living in Northumberland Park, experience the highest levels of deprivation in London, in indices of Multiple Deprivation.
• Significant medium-term impacts are beginning to unfold, including unemployment, poverty, mental health, education.
• Existing health, social, education and economic inequalities, have been intensified -
  increasing demand on community support and services.

Haringey Giving Week is your big chance to help tackle inequality and support those in need in Haringey. The money you give goes straight to the people who need it most – children and young people, residents experiencing isolation, ill health, poverty and violence.
Action is needed now to support them through the year ahead and, as a borough-wide charity with strong community links, Haringey Giving is well placed to respond quickly in a targeted way.
