It will also go towards other projects we are working on, which all address the underlying issues people in food crisis face, such as employment and debt advice. Thanks go to everyone involved.” Anthony Dimmick, Barratt Homes Community Liaison Manager, Southampton Division, said: “Romsey Foodbank is providing a wonderful service part of Romsey life, running community projects that have helped hundreds of local residents.
