“Sometimes you just need a new mind on an old problem.” Amazing testament to the power of young people as Exeter @NCS social action project that increased foodbank donations in supermarkets by 300% is rolled out nationwide by @sainsburys to reach 1M goal theguardian.com/business/201…

We've just bought a Christmas tree that was significantly cheaper than the top-of-the-range tree at the same retailer. The difference is going to the @FoodbankF at @sainsburys; having those labels is going to help us make the right choices about what to put in that bank. Thanks.
Brilliant idea by Exeter teenagers @FoodbankF doing @ExeterNCS @NCS programme. So good @sainsburys is doing it in its stores across the UK 🙌

'A nice cup of tea and a smiley face makes all the difference.' Our volunteer signposters are trained to help guide people at our foodbank distribution sessions towards further support - but sometimes it's the simple things in life that have the biggest impact... #feedbackfriday
