Supporting Trussell Trust Foodbank
On 18th December, Supervisors Chris Brittan and Steve Bartley made their annual visit to The Trussell Trust Foodbank in Bridgwater with a huge donation of festive treats and goodies from SPS colleagues.
Supporting Sedgemoor FM’s Tonne of Tins campaign
Colleagues from across the business supported this local campaign in the run up to Christmas to collect food tins for local food banks.
Overall, the appeal collected an estimated 1700 tins, along with additional essential items like pasta, rice, biscuits, noodles, and sauces.
These contributions will have made a meaningful difference for families in Bridgwater and the surrounding areas, especially during the festive season. 6,734 people, including 2,654 children, in our Bridgwater community had to turn to foodbanks between March 2022 and 2023.
Dave Englefield, Managing Director at Sedgemoor fm said, expressed gratitude to everyone who contributed.
“We were overwhelmed by the generosity of our listeners, local businesses, and town officials. The donations will go a long way in helping those who need it most. This campaign truly demonstrated the power of community spirit.”
Ann Barnard, who started the Bridgwater Foodbank with her husband Keith in 2013 said,
“The situations families find themselves in these days are quite difficult. Having this wonderful donation, today of a tonne of tins, is something that just has made our day. Thank you to everybody who has contributed. It’s wonderful.”
Christmas is a time for giving and we are thankful to all at SPS who kindly donated items
