Helen Ryder, Head of Human Sciences, who organised the collection, said, “A huge thank you to everyone who has helped to make this the most generous donation of food and gifts ever!  Due to the overwhelming generosity we were able to make a substantial donation to the local Food bank, support the Christmas Day activities at the Watermark and provide starter packs for the Salvation Army.

This is a wonderful way to support our local community, thank you for making it a much more positive Christmas and start to the New Year than it could have been".
