How do i get a box of hope?

Boxes of Hope are available to families who are experiencing financial hardship due to the COVID 19 outbreak.

The hardship might be a result of reduced income due to be furloughed or having working hours cuts, job losses, bereavement/illness, family breakdown or many other reasons.

​

If you are not experiencing hardship but would still like to receive a box (or if you live outside Harlow), they are available to purchase - just contact resource@rbf.org.uk with your request and we would be happy to help. 

How do i show i've been financially affected by Covid19?

We understand that there is no 'one size fits all' criteria as COVID19 has affected every family differently. When you order your box, you will be asked to either provide copies of document(s) relating to your current situation or, where you do not yet have anything in writing, to briefly 'tell us your story' on the order form just so we can ensure the boxes reach those most in need.

​

Please note that free boxes are limited to one per household per week

(up to a maximum of four boxes in total) to ensure we can support as many families as possible
