EVERYONE knows Britain’s love for a cuppa, and a new donation from a household appliance maker will help Woodley families enjoy a brew.

The Woodley Lunch Bunch, which helps families who rely on free school meals by offering lunches and support during holiday times, is a recipient of a range of kitchen appliances from Russell Hobbs.

They are one of many community kitchens and similar organisations across the country to receive a donation from the firm, and includes kettles, toasters and slow cookers.

Cira Jones, UK marketing manager at Russell Hobbs, said: “The current cost-of-living crisis has had a huge impact on many charities across the country, with more and more communities and families seeking resource and support from organisations offering vital support.

“We wanted to give back to these incredible organisations who have worked tirelessly to serve their communities, by gifting products which we know will be of great use to help people through this tough time.”

The donation has been gratefully received by the Lunch Bunch.

Julie Sherratt said: “The generous donations from Russell Hobbs will make such a huge difference to our families. It is often the essentials that are forgotten about, so the kettles have been very well received.

“Thank you so much for enabling us to help with ensuring that creating and serving hot meals does not need to cost a fortune.”
