Foodbank NEWS

Update - w/e 29/3/2026

This month, we received 70kg of donations in kind to the foodbank. Well done and thank you. The central foodbank informs us that they have 95 fewer food crates than this time last year, so your ongoing support remains crucial and much appreciated.

By way of reminder, there are two marked boxes in the Narthex for your physical donations and cash can be donated via the contactless machines in the Narthex.

The bar chart below will be updated shortly
