Our third annual foodbank collection is now underway with collection points set up in our Paisley and Edinburgh office’s and over 30 sites across Scotland which will be donated to The Trussell Trust.

 

Clark Contracts has previously held foodbank collections in December 2015 and 2016, donating over 1,000kg of food, but made the decision to move the collection to January this year following feedback from The Trussell Trust.

 

The foodbanks often receive substantial donations in the lead up to Christmas followed by a lack of donations at the start of the year which continues to be one of their busiest periods. In January 2017, the donations received by the Trust in January, February and March all fell below the monthly average.

 

As a result of this feedback, this year’s collection is running from Monday 22nd January until Friday 2nd February. The food collected will then be donated to Trussell Trust distribution centre’s across Scotland local to each collection point where food packages will be created and distributed to those in need.

 

The Trussell Trust operate 428 foodbank’s across the UK to support those experiencing crisis.  Each year they provide over one million three day emergency food supplies across the UK. You can find out more about the work they do on their website.
