Morecambe Bay Foodbank has thanked the businesses, groups and charities who supported them with donations over the Christmas period.

The Freemasons, Premier Line, and Heysham 1 and 2 Power Stations were among those who contributed both donations and food to the charity, based on Westgate in Morecambe.

This enabled the foodbank to provide support to local households with emergency food and Christmas bags.

Briony Scott, Morecambe Bay Foodbank Manager, said: "We are so grateful to all those who have donated to our service over Christmas.

"We know that families who don't have enough find it really hard over the festive period and being able to support people with an extra Christmas bag made a real difference.

"It's really heartening how many different organisations keep our clients in their minds and we are really grateful for the ongoing support."

Scott Devine, chairman of Lancaster & District Group of Lodges and Chapters, said: "The Freemasons from the Lancaster and District Group are always happy to support local charities and initiatives wherever possible.

"We are very proud to support Morecambe Bay Foodbank again this year as we have done annually since the Covid pandemic and subsequent cost of living crisis.

"We were very appreciative this year when we were offered a tour of the foodbank facility by Briony. The passion and enthusiasm for the work she and her team carry out was clearly evident."

Morecambe Bay Foodbank provides emergency food parcels for those facing crises and works in partnership across the community.

Donations are always welcome; food donations can be made at all major supermarkets, or at the foodbank itself by appointment, or a financial donation via their website.
