Food Drive
As part of Challenge Poverty Week, we are holding our first region-wide Food Drive, where those who can are invited to donate an item or items of food to one of our collection points between Monday 7 October and Sunday 13 October.
All food received will be donated to the food bank in each of the local areas and will go towards helping those in need.
You can access further information by visiting our website from 7 October.
