Pennypot Day Nursery make vital food bank donation

After making a generous donation of essential food and household items to the Runnymede Foodbank, children from Pennypot Day Nursery in Chobham were delighted to receive a special visit from a volunteer to thank them for their efforts and provide a better insight.

Following a record-rise in demand for items at food banks across the country due to the rising cost of living, families and colleagues from the award-winning setting on Pennypot Lane made contributions of products such as cereal, pasta, tinned goods and toiletries in efforts to keep the charity well-stocked in supplies, before receiving a visit from Sarah.

During her visit to the setting, volunteer Sarah spoke to the children about the positive impact their donations would have on local people, as well as the important role of food banks and their mission to ensure nobody goes hungry. As part of the learning experience, the group also played a game to identify which foods go in the fridge and which go in the cupboard, plus learning why it’s better for the charity to receive long-life, ambient products.
