Nearly £10,000 of ill-gotten cash seized from drug dealers has been donated to a food bank.
Every month, thousands of pounds are seized from drug dealers who appear for sentence before Liverpool Crown Court. And in a new scheme established by judges at the beginning of 2022, this cash is now being donated to a nominated charity of the month.
One of these beneficiaries has been Compassion Acts, which supplies seven food banks in the Southport area. The charity was nominated as the recipient for June by the Honourary Recorder of Liverpool Andrew Menary QC, the city's top judge.
