While we admire and support the Christmas campaigns that we see pop up in December, we also know that help is urgently needed all year round, each and every year. As some people pack away after the festive break, we are still here.
Our support is not limited to a food package, but it leaps beyond - we form connections, we listen and respond to everyone who steps through our doors. We open up a warm, safe, environment which aims to feel like a home away from home.
For us to continue to thrive and grow, and keep supporting as many people as possible, we are asking you to become a Friend of Cooking Champions. Even a donation of just £5-10 per month can make a HUGE impact on the lives of those who come through our doors.
Pop to our People's Fundraising page to donate, and we promise to keep you updated with how your support is making a difference. Thank you, we appreciate you! Team Cooking Champions

The owners of the Fox are not planning to demolish it, but rather to restore the external appearance of the building, which would accommodate a smaller, but "family-friendly" pub, and provide new housing on the upper floors and over the car park. Part of the ground floor would be separated off and converted into a retail or leisure unit. It is unclear whether the plans envisage the Fox continuing to have a function room.
This information was provided at last week's meeting of the.......
