We received some lovely feedback from a client this week. Its great to hear the difference our service makes to peoples lives.
I went to The City Temple, I was immediately offered a beverage and welcomed, explained how food bank works, had a gentleman from the council see if he could he assist with the financial situation, was I claiming the right benefits etc. I received a huge parcel of food for myself and my son. It included a few treats for the boy which had been wiped out of the budget for many weeks and so he was a VERY happy boy – I was embarrassed to be there, but the welcome and the understanding and the non judgemental attitude, I felt like I was just picking up some shopping. It was a wonderful experience on a very dark day – it was very hard to admit I was that desperate and if it had just been me I would have persevered, but for my son I knew we had to get some food. It really really saved us. ‘
