Clean as a whistle, sharp as a thistle, the best in all Westminster were out in force today to put together some crates of food for local families in need.

First we human chained the tins, packets and boxes out of the shipping container and into categorised piles - beans, soups, biscuits, pasta&rice, puddings, cereals and sauces were all available. Then we divided them up into crates to make sure each household got a mix of everything. And finally we sprinkled some festive chocolates on the top and put the crates back neatly into the container for collection tomorrow.
