He has kindly offered to supply a food package of everyday essentials to the elderly (70 and over) in Mosborough district.
“Harry recognises the difficulty for some of our older residents getting out and about – plus the amazing friends, family and carers that have been looking after them.
“Therefore, he wanted to do something to help. Harry is arranging for the food parcels to be kindly made up by Herrings Top Shop (above). These will be delivered by Fields Fruit and Veg so it’s a real community effort.
“It will be one package per household and the deadline to get the information over to us will be Wednesday, 15 April. Herrings Top Shop and Fields Fruit and Veg will then aim to get them delivered to everyone as soon as possible.
“As well as the two retailers, we would just like to say thank you to Harry and his family for this act of kindness and helping the elderly in the Mosborough community.”
