Council Employees ‘Fast for Food’

A huge thank you to Cathie, Di and the homeless team at the town hall who organised a ‘Fast for Food’ for the Foodbank. Cathie and Di fasted through the longest day of the year to raise food donations to help stock our shelves. As a result of their amazing efforts we can get food to people and families who are in extreme circumstances. A typical client would be: a family fleeing domestic violence (who often only manage to get away with the clothes they’re stood up in); those subject to family disaster (e.g. fire and flood) in emergency accommodation as hostels don’t provide food; evicted folk who lost their home because they simply lost their income. It really could happen to anyone. Thanks again to the team at the council for this amazing fundraising event.
