Handouts at Liss Food Bank have dropped as the temperature rises – but demand still remains fairly steady.

Parish councillors heard on Monday (April 28) the good cause helped 20 families and 35 individuals during the winter months.

There’s been a slight drop in recent weeks to 15 and 20, respectively, with Cllr Clayre Williams claiming the figures still show there’s a need for the service.

She said: “Things seem to get better when the weather is warmer but the figures also show there is a level of deprivation out there.”

The foodbank based at St Mary’s Church is also looking for drivers to help deliver food parcels to less mobile villagers, anyone interested should call Nigel on 07494 605945.
