Cllr Carol Andrews, the Council’s Cabinet Member with responsibility for Communities, said “We recognise that the current cost-of-living crisis and the festive period poses significant challenges for many of our residents and we’re working to offer a wide range of support to those affected.
“Sadly, this has resulted in increased numbers of people relying on foodbanks. We hope this appeal helps foodbanks buy the supplies they desperately need to support even more residents during times of financial crisis.
“I’d like to thank everyone who has donated so generously this year and to those responsible for co-ordinating the appeal.”
