Chairmen Enoch Kanagaraj and Harjit Singh from One Vision Project Three charities have been able to provide vital support to people affected by the pandemic thanks to funding. Charities Ascend, Watford Foodbank and One Vision were awarded grants totalling £10,000 by Three Rivers District Council from a hardship fund set up by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA). The extra funding is helping the charities support the community with food parcels, support with gas and electric payments and essential supplies including cooking equipment. Ascend’s Step in - Take Away food hub has helped more than 276 people including a young mum who needed a microwave and pots and pans to cook meals. The grant also meant the hub could help a person who had no money to top up their gas meter.
