A few words from Fiona Findlay

22nd February 2019

I would like to take this opportunity to say a big thank you to all the individual, schools, churches, businesses and organisations who have supported the foodbank over the past few years.

Having coordinated the foodbank since it’s inception it is now time for me to move on.

My hope 5 years ago was that we would no longer be in need of having a foodbank unfortunately this is far from the case. Last year saw us supporting 150 people per month – with the introduction of universal credit and the waiting times for payments more and more people are facing food poverty. In many cases people are left with £15-20 per week to meet food cost and travel costs and in some cases it is much less.

We have only been able to support these vulnerable people through your tremendous support and generosity.

Whilst I have had the opportunity to meet many of our supporters I haven’t had the chance to meet everyone however my thoughts, prayers and thanks and with you all.

Thank you.

Fiona
