Charity says it has ‘breathing space’ after donation, as Liverpool food bank network also receives ‘incredible gift’
Taylor Swift has a convoy of at least 50 trucks for her Eras tour, and now her donations to food banks in every UK city in which she performs have enabled one charity to use a lorry of its own.“We’re going to buy an articulated lorry full of food and other most-needed items to supplement our emergency food parcels,” said Rachel Biggs, the chief executive of the charity, which provided more than 20,000 emergency food parcels to people in need last year, with demand up 8% this year.
“It’s the most incredible gift,” he said. “Because of rising prices, rising need and falling donations, we’ve been having to subsidise our food ourselves for a long while. “Being able to reduce the burden on the organisation’s infrastructure has been a great relief for us,” she said. “It’ll ease the pressure on us a little bit and make a big difference to the work we’re able to do.
