**Daniel Browne**, the chair of **Warwickshire Pride**, has set up an emergency food parcel scheme to help LGBTQ+ locals who are in need of essential goods, such as food and household items. According to [*Coventry Live*](https://www.coventrytelegraph.net/news/coventry-news/emergency-food-parcels-being-delivered-19855045?ref=scenemag.co.uk), the scheme started out as a Christmas initiative, but Browne realised many LGBTQ+ people were still in need. The project has now helped 20 families in the Warwickshire area, with plans to continue into the foreseeable future.

Browne said there is a need for the scheme, as many struggling LGBTQ+ people may not want to attend local food banks or social supermarkets for *“fear of being judged”* for their sexuality or gender identity. He said that because Warwickshire Pride put a call out for those in need, LGBTQ+ people felt *“safer reaching out”*, adding: *“The people who received them were just really grateful…It was quite heartbreaking to hear the struggles people were facing, it made a massive difference.”*

A local Morrisons store recently set up a collaboration with Warwickshire Pride for LGBTQ+ history month, which will see staff donate toiletries and food to the LGBTQ+ organisation. Browne praised those who run emergency food schemes, [tweeting](https://twitter.com/MrDanielBrowne/status/1341036583349329925?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1341036583349329925%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1%5F&ref%5Furl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.coventrytelegraph.net%2Fnews%2Fcoventry-news%2Femergency-food-parcels-being-delivered-19855045&ref=scenemag.co.uk): *“It’s heartbreaking that food banks need to exist, but how wonderful that people run them, donate to them, and ensure that people who are struggling get support.”*
