Thanks to everyone who donated to our #foodbanks & @FareShareUK during both of this year’s @Tesco Food Collections. We’re working towards a future where no one needs to use a #foodbank but these donations will make such a difference to people in crisis. Thank you! #EveryCanHelps

At Mrs CL's dayjob we had a donation day on Friday: Collected 56kg of food for @colchfbank, toys for @HomeStartCol and lots of bedding, duvets & pillows for @ColchNightShelt. SO nice to be able to drop it all off today & know you've made a little difference to someone local.

This is not the #FutureofFood we want.

July was a #recordbreaking month – not just for temperatures, but for the amount of good food going to good causes! We redistributed 1,024 tonnes of food, for the first time going over the 1,000 tonnes mark within a single month – what a fantastic milestone! #feedpeoplefirst 🙌🎉

So great to hear @willquince at the @ColchNightShelt AGM speak about homelessness and the work he is doing in Parliament to help. Great idea to have booths to give to charities instead of beggars!
