“This is a tough time for many people and organisations like these are making a real difference. They are relying on donations, supermarkets and grant funding in order to make up food parcels for those who need help.

“It was great to help secure these donations, but they do need more.

“If you can help, please go give generously the next time you shop. If you need help, please don’t struggle alone. Peterborough’s proving again what a special city it is.

“They both make me proud of Peterborough.”
