Football Fans Fuel Food Bank for a Year

Generous football fans have collectively raised more than £140,000 for a local food bank, a remarkable sum that will fund the facility for an entire year. This significant contribution, boosted by matching funds from club co-owner Jamie Reuben, far exceeds the food bank's annual spending on provisions.

Volunteers expressed deep gratitude for the donations, acknowledging the community's ongoing support over nearly a decade. The food bank currently assists up to 1,200 individuals weekly, a number expected to grow. Escalating food prices, influenced by global events such as the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, are anticipated to increase the need for the food bank's services.
