Tunbridge Wells businesses support struggling local households
Tunbridge Wells businesses have supported low income families in Tunbridge Wells and Tonbridge and the surrounding areas by collecting 62.40 kilos – or 200 tins and packets of food – for Nourish Community Foodbank. The Royal Spa Chapter of BNI collected the food at one of their regular Thursday morning business breakfast meetings. Nourish Co-Chair Olga
Johnson, who had been invited to attend the meeting as a guest, said: “It’s fantastic that local businesses got together to support people in their area who are struggling to
make ends meet. Sixteen per cent of households in Tunbridge Wells and Tonbridge are living in crisis – a proportion that we expect to see rise – and this donation will help us in our work making sure they don’t have to choose between food and other essentials.” President of the Royal Spa
BNI Chapter, Debbie Harris of Chosen with Care, said: “Our 50 members were delighted to come together to support the great work of Nourish. As business owners and managers, we feel we have a role to play in contributing to our community.”
