Demand for Ludlow food bank remains high says report

Nearly 250 food parcels have been handed out to those in need this year.

Ludlow Food Bank has published its half-yearly report which shows a decrease in users during the first coronavirus lockdown.

The report said: "Between January 1st and June 30th last year, we gave away 300 food parcels. This was an unprecedented amount, at a very difficult time. In the next six months to December 2020 we gave away a further 260 food parcels. In the first six months of 2021, we have given away 248 food parcels."

"We now have most of our long-standing volunteers back at the foodbank."
