Campaign makes perfect food sense

OLDHAM Foodbank has teamed up with housing provider Guinness Partnership to make Christmas more merry for vulnerable residents.

Volunteers from the partnership are running Food Sense, a six-month campaign to help tackle food poverty. Over the past year, foodbanks run by the Trussell Trust handed out food to more than a million people. Food Sense volunteers will collect essential items to make up Christmas hampers and organise support for those who can’t get to foodbanks.
