EMPLOYEES at Wilmslow automotive solutions provider S&G Response collected food donations for local food bank Food Friend. The food bank, which operates in the SK9 postcode area, supports anyone in genuine financial need, with access to free basic food.

Employees donated food items to help those in need at Christmas, and the items were delivered to St Bartholomew’s Church, which is the hub of the project.

Flo Knowles, project manager at Food Friend said: “We are grateful to S&G Response for their donation, particularly at this time of year.

“We rely on donations to ensure we can continue to support individuals and families in distress and in genuine financial need.”

Operations director at S&G Response, Nik Griffiths said: “As a business we are always looking at ways in which we can give back to our community.

“Supporting Food Friend has been a great initiative to get involved with, and it was great to see so many of our employees donate generously.

“Our aim was to make a difference to those in need, when Christmas can be a difficult time, and we hope our support will enable the project to continue with the great work they do in our area.”
