BORDON’s food bank has thanked communities in Bordon, Whitehill, Liphook, Petersfield and surrounding villages after its Christmas appeal for donations.

Thanks to an “amazing” response, the food bank was able to help many families in temporary need this Christmas, according to manager Heather Ford.

She added: “My thanks also must go to One Stop in Bordon that kindly donated a large amount of food too. We are always grateful for donations, however small.”

Heather said that in 2019, they gave out food to feed 200 people, tokens for fresh food of £195 gift parcels and about 60 toy gift bags.
