Robin Hood Foundation’s collaborations bring relief to many in need

SINCE the announcement of national lockdown nine weeks ago, The Robin Hood Foundation has been ramping up its community footprint by collaborating and partnering with other community organisations and NPOs to get as much aid and relief as possible directly into the hands of those that need it most.

Cindy Norcott, Chair and Founder of RHF, said: “In the 15 years we have been serving our communities, we have never before been faced with what the last nine weeks of 2020 has brought. We are in a time where we can easily be so overwhelmed by fear and anxiety; our focus at Robin Hood has been to keep on building our faith, building our gratitude, leading our people, creating solutions, spreading hope and helping others –  How pertinent that May 2020  the Foundation’s 15th year – has seen partnerships and collaborations like never before, enabling outreaches from South Coast to North Coast, Midlands to Durban central and almost everywhere in between sparking a light of hope in dim and desperate circumstances.”

Thanks to phenomenal support to date, the Foundation has been able to reach out in various communities with the likes of KZN Valley Dogs, Zero 2 Five Trust, Khulisani, Christian Social Services, Open Door Crisis Centre as well as the many other partners, and overseen nearly 200 tons of food and supplies mobilised into the community.

A whopping 147 tons of this in the last fortnight alone, through a collaboration with Concerned Citizens Covid19, distributed into Durban and surrounding communities through community partners.
