Tinned meat meals, including chicken, ham, hot dogs and meatballs, head our list of items most needed in July for local people and their families struggling to put food on the table during these difficult times.

Tins of dessert fruit and packets of dried instant custard are also highlighted, along with small bottles of squash and packets of sweet biscuits.

Unisex deodorant and shower gel are this month’s most-wanted toiletry items.

We greatly appreciate people’s continued generosity in kindly responding to our monthly appeals amid the cost of living crisis. With your help we have provided 265,000 meals to clients and their families since 2013, and we will go on doing so for as long as we are needed.
