Report written by Anthony Hayes

Share the love

Today I was mainly doing ten drops with eleven food parcels. Meeting people all going through tough times, from a woman with one lung and a husband with cancer, a mother who's son of 8 is in isolation for 12 weeks because of his medical problems, to a mother who's has been told she is to go onto universal credit and now has no money until the end of June. These people are going through all sorts of problems but greatly appreciated food parcels. Even more, in these times of isolation, they appreciated that I took a few minutes to hear their story before moving on.
