A COMMUNITY group benefited from a remarkable act of kindness last week.
Whitley Community Development Association (WCDA) received a donation of sanitary products from a lady who dropped into its community cafe on Northumberland Avenue.
In a post on social media, it said: “She’d seen a news report about what projects like ours need to support local residents.
“She remembers her days of struggling when her children were young.
“Thank you, thank you, thank you. Whitley community spirit at its best.”
The WCDA runs a food surplus which provides fresh fruit, vegetables and other essential items for £1 per bag. Referrals are not required to use the service.
Its work is supported by supermarkets such as Lidl, M&S and Sainsbury’s.
