Help from a cub scout

11th June 2016

My son’s cub group recently looked at issues of global poverty and were set homework to explore one aspect of poverty. He decided to look at food and health issues and was upset to find out that in the UK so many families and children are short of money for food. He came up with the idea of spending one week’s pocket money on food for the foodbank, trying to get as much as he could for that amount. He then challenged the rest of the pack to do the same. As it was over Easter not everyone managed to do it, but we do have a few bags of food to donate based on the list you provide on your website. As my son came up with the idea he’d really like to deliver the donations himself, if that’s ok, rather than dropping them off into a collection point in a supermarket.
