Foodbank Support

The Charity and Volunteering Committee extended a huge thank you to CCHA colleagues for making generous donations of food, toiletries and other essentials throughout December 2022, to benefit two of our local foodbanks in Carlisle and Gateshead.

Foodbanks provide emergency food and support to millions of people every day. They work with a wide range of agencies such as doctors, health visitors, social workers, police and housing associations, to identify people in need and issue them with a foodbank voucher, which can then be used for a foodbank parcel.

The foodbanks were hugely grateful for the donations and made sure they were distributed to those in need across our local communities.
