A primary school which runs a foodbank for struggling families has issued a heartbreaking plea.
The Alt Academy's foodbank is open to any parent who need it, and also works with the Co-Op through the Food Share scheme, picking up unsold food close to its expiration date. It can then be handed out to families in the morning 363 days a year.
The Oldham school, in one of the most deprived neighbourhoods in the country, is asking for help.
