Ever wondered where Southwell’s Foodbank donations go?  

Do you have a car and could you occasionally give up 2 hours on 5 or 6 Monday mornings a year to transport Southwell’s Foodbank donations to Newark?   

Since 2013, volunteers from the churches and wider community have collected and transported donations from four Southwell locations to the Food-bank warehouse in Newark.  The food needs to arrive by 11am.  Sadly, mainly due to health reasons, the number of our stalwart volunteers is diminishing.  We need more Volunteers! An annual rota is produced each December based on the information you give about when you are available.  If you find yourself unable to do your week, you arrange to swap with someone else on the rota. For more information please contact Karen Edginton by 31st November at kedginton1@gmail.com and include your phone number so I can get back to you.
