I nearly missed this, but Hastings Foodbank announced yesterday that it was 7 years ago when they opened and, since the 17th of April 2012, they have dealt with 17,030 referrals and provided the equivalent of 370,773 meals!
Now, I wish to congratulate Hastings Foodbank, and the people and businesses of Hastings that have contributed towards this outstanding feat, but also to condemn the Government of one of the richest countries in the world that has allowed the need for foodbanks to exist...
Shame on the Government and the 9 years of austerity measures it introduced!
