Demand for the Good Shepherd’s food service has increased substantially during the Covid-19 pandemic, and between July and September, more than 7,000 hot meals were distributed to 677 individuals.

With Covid-19 restrictions in place, hot food is being handed out via a take-out service and, on days of inclement weather, this had been causing issues particularly as queues built up.

Steve said: “The Good Shepherd is a fantastic charity which we have donated to before, and are doing some really important work not just providing food but also other support during such a difficult time.”

Helen Holloway, admin/finance manager with the Good Shepherd, said: “This shelter is going to prove particularly beneficial as we go through the winter months.”

It was built by Marek who was helped by the Good Shepherd himself.
