All the support we receive locally is an enormous help to those local people in crisis who are referred to the Foodbank by specialist agencies. Thank you everyone, with your help the Foodbank was able to give a total of 28 food packs in September, making a total for the year of 385. The number for the coming months is likely to increase as seasonal work ends and winter weather begins to take hold.
