Angela visited St Peter’s Church in Ashton to meet volunteers working with That Bread and Butter Thing – a charity that makes sure food doesn’t go to waste and that as many people as possible are given affordable access to healthy fruit, veg and essential cupboard items.
Angela said: “TBBT’s mobile food clubs give access to nutritious and affordable food taken into the heart of communities starved of money, food and resources. Food Clubs give dignity, increase belonging, and improve healthy food access, while reducing the stresses associated with struggle.
“It was great to hear that of the 61% of TBBT members who have used food banks, 39% have been able to reduce or stop using food banks since joining.
“Thank you to TBBT CEO Vic Harper and her wonderful team of volunteers for letting me join the group for the day.”
