Desprte some bumps in Ihe road the Foodbank continued to achieve this objective throughoul the period. Over the Christrnas and New Year perk 2024125 one of the principal distribution centres (Malmesbury Ttrml Hall) was unavailable to the Foodbank because of refurt)ishment rk. Desprte this. an attematsve and temporary distiibutK)n centre was fcwnd and this,
coupled with the outslanding efforts of the PM aThJ volunteers, meant thal the F(x)dbank continued to provide the service to dlents over this dlfficult tinw.
