2022 Annual General Meeting
The Annual General Meeting will be held on Monday 4th April, 2022, at Bridge Community (Methodist) Church, Radcliffe, commencing at 7pm prompt. All are welcome to attend.
As we see the country ending the restrictions imposed during the Covid-19 pandemic, Porch Boxes would like to say a very heartfelt thank you to the people of the Metropolitan Borough of Bury and surrounding areas, for the incredible way that you have supported Porch Boxes during the last 2 years. The significant increase in financial and food donations have enabled us to widen our reach to those in need, at a time when Porch Boxes was their only source of food.
The generosity of the community of the wider Bury/Radcliffe area, has been amazing and very humbling.
Thankyou so much to everyone who has in any way supported the work of Porch Boxes both before, and during the pandemic, and indeed continue to do so as life returns to a sense of normality.

As we approach the 1st Anniversary of the Covid-19 Pandemic, we should like to say a huge
to everyone who has supported us during 2020 and enabled us to ramp up our production of Porch Boxes crisis packs for those in need around the Borough.
Many of you have donated anonymously, and we wanted to take this opportunity to ensure we acknowledged the gifts of food, toiletries etc, and financial gifts we have received from all our supporters.
We are so grateful to every one of you – we could not have done it without you.
Of course, Covid-19 is not over, and we continue into 2021 with our Covid-19 packs as well as our regular packs and look forward to your continued support.
