It's a great local service in one of the poorest areas of the city - I'd encourage Wakey fans to remember them and drop some stuff in if you're having a clear out or feeling flush. Not only does it help feed those who struggle to feed themselves/families - it also acts as a place where people needing other help can go and get advice and information/referrals to appropriate agencies etc.

So everyone who uses food banks are shirkers, drunks, smokers etc.
Hang your head in shame Tory boy! A shocking attitude.

Not saying that at all, I am just wanting clarification that shirkers , drunks etc are not abusing the system, got nothing to do with politics Jinjer. There has been, is and always will be people who need support from society in General and I am delighted to assist in anyway I can. Surely its fair to ask a simple question to receive clarification on what systems are in place to ensure that assistance goes to the correct people.

First of all can I say thank you to anyone who dropped off any food yesterday. I know some took some during the day and others on their way to the game. St Catherine's have tweeted their gratitude and also raised over £60 in donations. Had a long chat with them and they are not part of the Tassell Trust and require ID and proof of need from users . belly as in all walks of life there are those who will try beat the system from large companies and billionaires avoiding tax to people on benefits working and people with trades doing jobs on the side and not declaring income. I would be more upset by someone owing thousands in tax than someone picking up £10 of food they should not have. I would urge all to watch the film I,Daniel Blake to see why food banks exist and why the haves should support them.
Regarding St Catherine's Inwould hope collection days could do-incide with match days more often so fans can get into the habit of dropping off food items.

Thank you again for your support

I dropped a bag of tins in on the way to the game. There didn't seem to be a lot in the trolley. The lady was most grateful for yhe donation.
