@MarcusRashford Can you raise awareness that branded school uniforms only sold by one retailer is a huge issue for low income families. Blazers, ties, PE Kits all add up quickly when lower priced alternatives are forbidden by schools
For families facing holiday hunger issues we’ve some support packs including bread, a sandwich filling, butter, fresh fruit and a frozen food item.
We will endeavour to keep this going as long as we can find resources and donations to keep replenishing stocks.

On Monday @CountyDurhamCF visited @PactHouse, a fabulous community cafe operating a crisis foodbank from the vault of the former bank they occupy! I chatted to Alan who wanted to draw me using one of the computers so crucial to many users of @PactHouse. The result.....I love it!
Nice to be able to show the real world work we do to some of our funders. Thanks to @CountyDurhamCF @MichelleCDCF@joinedupnorth for coming to visit our humble home
Third visit to @PactHouse a one stop shop for people, to access support & advice in a café environment. They provide a free community meal cooked by volunteers & breakfasts for children in the holidays who are in receipt of free school meals & parents cannot afford to feed them.
