The long-established Leominster Foodbank has seen a dramatic rise in the numbers of people knocking on its doors so a delivery of six dozen chocolate eggs from leading self-storage company Lock Stock was very welcome.

Lock Stock recently opened new sites in the area at Brimfield, between Leominster and Ludlow, and at Craven Arms to add to their existing sites in Shrewsbury and Oswestry.

Leominster Foodbank Trustee and volunteer Anne Clarke received the delivery from Lock Stock Area Manager Richard Warner and said: “It was lovely to be able to offer our foodbank customers some seasonal treats and we’re very grateful to Lock Stock for this generous donation.

“We have seen a big rise in demand since Christmas and since January we have distributed 1,000 food parcels nearly half of them for children.

“We’re in temporary accommodation at the moment which has made things more difficult and those figures include supermarket vouchers as well as food parcels.
