Thank You

During the strange times we recently found ourselves in, what became clear was a great willingness from local people to help out in any way they can.   

 

A total of 319 local residents volunteered to help with the Covid-19 response of which, 73 people helped support 1,886 households, feeding 4,099 people with 6,157 packages of food supplied by Foodbank stock and 190 local residents who regularly donated to us.

​

Thank you to everyone who has offered to be involved in supporting others in our community during this challenging time and for your commitment to support local residents and communities.  Thank you to all the volunteers who especially supported with food donations and deliveries.
