£22,231 raised for Homeless Hampers UK
Torque has raised £22,231 for Homeless Hampers UK, bringing together 18 months of fundraising across nine sites.
Over the past 18 months, activity has taken place across nine sites, with a steady run of events from bake sales to raffles and everything in between, bringing together consistent effort across the business.
This sits within a wider approach at Torque. Community partnerships are a consistent part of how the business operates, with fundraising activity tied to the areas around its sites. With this total, Torque has now supported 40 charities and raised more than £200,000 for community causes.
Homeless Hampers UK is one of those partners. The Leeds-based charity supports people experiencing homelessness and hardship, providing food and essential items through weekly outreach across the city.
That work came into focus last Sunday, when some of Team Torque joined the charity’s weekly outreach session in Leeds. Working alongside the Homeless Hampers UK team, they helped distribute food and supplies and spent time with people accessing the service.
The visit also marked the handover of the £22,231 raised. A simple moment, but one that connected a long-running fundraising effort with the reality of how that support is used.
“The support from Torque has made a real difference to what we’re able to do each week. It helps us reach more people and continue delivering our outreach consistently. We’re really grateful for the commitment that’s gone into this.”
Tina Suryavansi, Trustee, Homeless Hampers UK
“This has been a focused piece of work over a long period, building momentum across our sites and keeping the cause visible. Seeing the outreach in Leeds brought that into context. It shows clearly where the support goes and why it matters.”
Morgan Cope, Engagement and Marketing Project Manager, Torque
The result is clear. Funding that goes straight into frontline support, backing work that continues week after week.
