A VOLUNTEER service is urging people to help keep residents warm through winter.
Maldon Soup, run by Maldon CVS, is hosting a series of soup evenings to allow people to share their ideas for crowdfunding.
Sarah Troop from Maldon and District CVS said: “We’d love to see some neighbours and communities come together to support each other at the Soup events.
“We are supported by Dante’s restaurant this year, and the grants are from Essex County Council, so we can keep the events free to attend and still serve delicious soup and support community ideas.
“We can give a micro grant of up to £300 to anyone with an idea, whether it be to pay for a community get-together, to buy ingredients to make casseroles, buying draught excluders, small heaters or warm clothing.”
The next event will be held on Monday, November 25 from 12.30pm at Fullbridge Church.
