IT firm backs food bank charity

IT firm Neuways has teamed up with a food bank charity to provide it with a range of supplies for the local community ahead of the festive season.

Derby Food 4 Thought Alliance, which helps people experiencing food poverty, will ensure that the donation from Neuways is dispersed to those who need it the most over the winter months.

The contributions given by the firm’s staff and directors, range from essential hygiene products to children’s toys, as well as warm winter clothing and advent calendars.

Julia Carty, head of business support and accounts at Neuways, said: “The work that the Derby Food 4 Thought Alliance do in supporting domestic abuse victims and children at a time when they need it the most is something we want to wholeheartedly support as much as we possibly can.

“We are very proud of all of the staff at Neuways for digging deep and helping to deliver our donation to the Derby Food 4 Thought Alliance, which will ultimately help a lot of people.”

Paul Brookhouse, coordinator at the charity, said: “Without the generous and vital contributions of the general public and businesses like Neuways, it would be impossible to meet the needs of those in the city and we massively appreciate the support offered.”
