How can you help? One way is to help us to offer a balanced food parcel that contains different types of food. This list is updated here and on our Facebook page.
We really appreciate you donating from the list below as it avoids an excess of some foods and a shortage of others.

The Most Useful Foods
Please note that all food collected is non-perishable, long-life or tinned. Thanks for your help.
