Special thanks for local businesses who have already contributed!
We’d like to thank some of our local businesses for supporting the Community Warehouse. Mecca Bingo donated lots of food stock and brought a staff team to make up 150 ‘Winter Warmer’ parcels which were donated via food providers over the winter period. BES Ltd donated £5,000 which bought warehouse shelving and equipment and a stock of hats, scarves and hot chocolate which we used, with their staff team to make up 250 Winter Warmer packs and provide stock to support some of the homeless charities in the borough.
