Multibank in Collaboration with the Junction
Lakota Hub C.I.C. has teamed up with The Junction for the new Multibank initiative, focused on supplying essential goods to those affected by the rising cost of living. We distribute items like clothing, toiletries, kitchenware, and home essentials directly to our community, providing a valuable lifeline for low-income households.
​
Middlesbrough experiences some of the steepest poverty rates in the region. Through this meaningful collaboration with The Junction, we aim to directly address and reduce these hardships locally.
​
If you or someone you know would benefit from this support, please reach out to our team.
