Kind-hearted staff at North East health and wellbeing charity, Pioneering Care Partnership (PCP), have been championing local Food Banks, generously giving time to collect and donate much needed items to local food banks across County Durham, Stockton and Billingham.

Throughout 2019 Healthwatch County Durham worked in partnership with Kidzone Nursery and Lorna Moore Childcare in Crook collecting an incredible 335kg of food and toiletries to donate to Durham Food Bank.

55 packages of mini toiletries to support local families in need were made by senior manager, Toni McHale, and receptionist Nora Brewster has worked with Options members to donate over 30 bags of food to Shildon Alive.

Barry Knevitt, Chair of PCP Board of Trustees, said: “Many of PCP’s staff work directly with local communities giving them a real insight into the issues that affect individuals and their families on a daily basis. We encourage staff to make a difference and take positive action to support local people. We’re very proud of our staff and volunteer team and know they will keep up the great work in 2020.”
