Evgeny Lebedev distributes food at St Paul’s Cof E Primary in Whitechapel as our appeal gets underway
(Picture: Lucy Young)Sainsbury’s has become the first big backer of our On the Breadline Christmas Appeal in partnership with Comic Relief with a £500,000 donation that will target food insecurity across the country.
It brings the total raised in two days to £1.5 million and follows the £1 million that Comic Relief pledged on Tuesday to help us tackle the cost-of-living crisis. The Sainsbury’s money will support the work of FareShare, Britain’s largest food redistribution charity, which supplies more than 9,000 frontline charities and community groups nationwide.
