You can find out more about The Bread and Butter Thing and their volunteering opportunities here: https://t.co/Wn2p7yxbnV

[Tell Us North CIC @tellusnorthcic]

In January, the Tell Us North team spent time volunteering with The Bread and Butter Thing.

As part of our commitment to social value, our staff helped pack food and load vans that deliver supplies to Food Clubs across the North East.

[Tell Us North CIC @tellusnorthcic]

Our volunteer supervisor told us: the Tell Us North team "made a real impact on the families and communities we serve. They helped 600 families access healthy, nutritious and affordable food, that’s around 18,000 meals and stopped 10 tonnes of food going to landfill."
