A food bank continues vital work supported by pupils and parents of a village school.

Dartmouth Food Bank, after a busy Christmas and New Year, received food and donations of food and money from Kingswear Primary School pupils and parents.

County Councillor Jonathan Hawkins said: “Last Friday, I collected a very generous donation from Pupils and Parents of Kingswear. On behalf of the volunteers of the Food Bank, we would like to thank them and all the very generous gifts that have been made to us over the past month

“We not only have been donated food but also money which will ensure anyone who needs assistance will be given a friendly and helpful welcome. We are pleased to announce that from the first Friday in January we will also be offering a venue in Townstal for residents to come. St Clements Church have been kind to offer a base which will be open every Monday from 10am until 12pm.”
