A 13 year old from Chester , Anna Davies from Guilden Sutton,
listened to a presentation from West Cheshire Foodbank at her local church in
October 2013 and was so challenged and inspired by what she heard that she
decided to do something about it. She talked to her good friend, Kate Duerden
from Waverton, and they decided on a course of action.
Anna and Kate are doing their bronze Duke of Edinburgh award
and, for the volunteering section of their award, chose to raise funds for
their local Foodbank. Over a 3-month volunteering period they sold cakes
whenever and wherever they could. Kate even got her dad to take and sell some
at work! Anna and Kate have raised a staggering £270 for the Foodbank through
their cake sales and are very happy in the knowledge that their efforts will help
and support local people in crisis enduring food poverty.
Everyone at West Cheshire Foodbank would like to send a huge
“thank you” to Anna and Kate for all their hard work and dedication in raising
funds for the Foodbank. Very well done to both of you!
