A Tonne of Tins – Supporting Bridgwater Foodbank
At West Country Drainage Services, we’re committed to supporting initiatives that truly make a difference. recently we were delighted to attend the launch of Sedgemoor fm’s ‘A Tonne of Tins’ campaign! Held at Angel Place—home to a Bridgwater Foodbank donation cart—the event marked the start of an inspiring community effort to collect 2,500 tins by Christmas 2024, all aimed at helping local families in need.
The goal of collecting 2,500 tins might seem ambitious, but with the determination of Sedgemoor FM and the backing of our incredible community, we’re confident it can be achieved—and exceeded! At West Country Drainage Services, we’re proud to be part of this campaign and encourage everyone to get involved by donating where possible.
According to Bridgwater Foodbank, between March 2022 and March 2023, they provided food for 6,734 people—2,654 of whom were children. These figures highlight the vital importance of supporting initiatives like ‘A Tonne of Tins’ to help those struggling in our local community.
In addition to tins, Bridgwater Foodbank welcomes a range of non-perishable items such as pasta, rice, cereals, canned vegetables, long-life milk, juice, toiletries, baby products, and household cleaning items. Every donation, no matter the size, makes a real difference in ensuring local families have the essentials they need during challenging times.
