Colleagues at Huddersfield-based First4Lawyers went the extra mile to support a local food bank following its busiest year on record.
Staff took part in a ‘reverse advent calendar’, bringing in food items daily throughout December to supplement the firm’s annual £1,000 donation to Huddersfield’s The Welcome Centre.
The charity, which provides advice and support to those struggling as well as food and other essential items, has seen demand peak, handing out the equivalent of over 361,000 meals in the last 12 months. These have gone to feed almost 6,000 local people in need, more than a third of whom were children.
