What one local business has done - Brandbank

Locally based business Brandbank began donating non-perishable items to us on an ad hoc basis early in 2015, but in July that year, we developed a more permanent relationship, receiving donations on a fortnightly basis.

We have been really pleased with the quality of the items received - much of which have gone straight into our stocks and on to being included in food parcels. The more eclectic items - from air fresheners and vitamins to hair dye and other beauty products - have been passed on to the agencies we work closely with (and of course our distribution centres) to then give the items on to those we both work with.

We are very grateful to Brandbank for the donations they make to us and thank them sincerely for choosing to support us in this way.
