Lions Club donates £1,000 to Bedford Foodbank

And the organisation has decided to support Bedford Foodbank with a donation of £1,000 from its share of then grant.

Lion Maddy Gamble said: “This is a significant sum of money that we are putting to good use straight away. This coronavirus pandemic is hurting lots of local people in lots of different ways - just because we are all social distancing doesn’t stop us from caring.

"We are doing what we can, and this cash injection will help us do more.”
