Boy, 11, uses pocket money to open a foodbank in garden shed

The generous youngster started the foodbank after asking his mum Claire to give him money for groceries instead of a birthday present. Since starting the foodbank in 2020, the service has grown so much Isaac’s family bought a shed to store the hundreds of donated items.

Wellwishers can now donate food or ask for supplies by contacting the schoolboy via his Friend’s of Isaac Food Bank Facebook page. He takes bags of shopping to people or his parents give him a lift in their van at weekends which has been customised with Isaac’s instantly recognizable rainbow logo.

Those in need are also able to go to Isaac's foodbank shed, which is open 24-hours-a-day, and help themselves. The youngster, who was born with a rare chromosome disorder, started the foodbank after learning that his new school didn’t accept food donations.
