LOCAL charity Fair Frome that runs the food bank and other projects to help those in acute financial need, has welcomed a £30,234 donation from John Wainwright & Co Ltd and other local quarries and their suppliers.
Bob Ashford, chair of trustees, said, “Fair Frome continues to see increasing demand for all our services as the winter comes on. Increasing fuel bills and the cost-of-living crisis combined with high levels of inflation which hits those on lower incomes hardest has created a perfect storm for many families and individuals in Frome and the surrounding areas.
“With Christmas approaching, families are also having to cope with increasing expectations which they will be unable to meet. As a charity we are doing everything we can – collecting toys, Christmas food and other goods to supplement our usual services to families, individuals and schools. We couldn’t do any of this without the support of our wonderful local community and this donation will make a huge difference to the work we can do as we go forward. As such we are extremely grateful for what we know has been a lot of work to put together this significant donation which make a huge contribution to the work we can do.”
Peter Barkwill, CEO of John Wainwright & Co would like to give a special mention and thank you to the following suppliers for their very generous donations – WCD Sleeman & Sons, Nynas Bitumen, Kelston Sparkes, JS Services, Sima Asphalt, Sleemans Q&C Ltd, DE Plant Thriplow Group, Frome Auto Electrical, Weeks Engineering, Morris & Perry, Puma Bitumen, Aggregate Industries and Ingevity.
