A fundraisin­g campaign has been launched by a legal and financial planning firm to provide resources for local foodbanks.

Mogers Drewett’s new campaign this Christmas will help support three foodbanks local to their offices in Bath, Sherborne and Wells.

The offices accept donations of long-life products, cleaning products and toiletries such as shower gel and deodorants.

A Christmas raffle is being launched. Raffle tickets cost £1 each and prizes range from an overnight stay at an award-winning luxury hotel in Dorset and afternoon tea at the 5* Bath Spa

Hotel to tickets to Bishop Palace in Wells, plus much more.

All proceeds will go to support Bath, Sherborne and Wells Vineyard foodbanks.

Grainne Moher the manager of Bath Foodbank, one of the Genesis Trust projects said: “We are so grateful for the support of local people helping other local people who are in crisis.

“Food donations and financial support such as this will help us to continue to support local people in desperate need this year.”

Sean Mcdonough, managing partner of Mogers Drewett, said, “Mogers Drewett has a long history of supporting local charities and community activities.

“This year, we have decided to support our local foodbanks as we can see how deeply the costof-living crisis is affecting our communitie­s and we really want to help.”

People can bring donations and buy raffle tickets at the Mogers Drewitt offices in St James House, Lower Bristol Rd, Bath BA2 3BH between 9am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.
