Whitley CDA has been supporting the people of Whitley for six years. Now more than ever we need your help. At the moment our priority is our food surplus project. Together we are #TheBeatingHeartOfWhitley whitley-cda.org/donate/

One of our trustees, Imke Wilson, is walking from Kew to Wisely. Can you donate? Every £1 you can spare will ensure that we can continue to support Whitley. Together We Are The #BeatingHeartofWhitley. whitley-cda.org/imkes-walk/

Walking in about a month's time with folk from the husband's work who are letting me tag along on their walk. All funds raised will go directly to support Whitley CDA 's projects as they work tirelessly to support the community as we come out of covid.
