Relieving Poverty in the UK

Providing practical support to those in need, restoring dignity and hope.

Addressing the Crisis

Why We Act

Across the UK, millions of people are living in poverty. In Hull and East Yorkshire, the situation is particularly acute, with many families forced to choose between heating and eating. According to recent data, food bank usage has surged, and thousands of children go to bed hungry each night.

At Christ The Redeemer Ministries UK, we believe that poverty is not just a statistic—it represents real people facing real struggles. Guided by our charitable object to prevent and relieve poverty, we have established evidence-based initiatives that provide immediate relief while addressing root causes through advocacy and education.

Our Referral System

We work with GPs, social services, schools, and other agencies to ensure our support reaches those who genuinely need it. Referrals help us understand each person's situation and provide targeted assistance while maintaining dignity and confidentiality.

Volunteers packing food

Our Response Initiatives

Food Assistance

We operate a food distribution program providing emergency three-day food parcels to families and individuals in Hull. Each parcel is carefully assembled to include nutritionally balanced items, catering to dietary requirements and cultural preferences where possible.

  • Non-perishable staples (rice, pasta, tinned goods)
  • Fresh produce when available
  • Essential hygiene products
  • Special provisions for babies and dietary needs

Clothing Bank

We collect and distribute clean, good-quality clothing for all ages, as well as bedding, towels, and other household essentials. This service is particularly vital for families fleeing domestic violence, refugees, or those who have experienced house fires.

  • Clothing for all ages and seasons
  • Shoes and winter coats
  • Bedding and household linens
  • Kitchen essentials and toiletries

Advice & Advocacy

Poverty is complex and multifaceted. We provide signposting to professional services for debt management, housing advice, and employment support. Our volunteers are trained to listen with compassion and connect people with the appropriate resources.

  • Benefits application support
  • Debt advice referrals (Citizens Advice)
  • Housing support signposting
  • Employment and training resources
