A Lanarkshire foodbank has bagged a bumper grant from the National Lottery as it continues to try and help struggling families.
Paul’s Parcels, based in Shotts, was awarded £8178 from the Lottery which will allow the volunteers to enlarge its community fridge which has been a big success with locals meaning it is able to offer fresh food rather than just non-perishable items.
The foodbank is co-ordinated by Tracey Duffy along with partner, Gerry McCann. It takes its name in memory of founder Tracey’s brother, Paul, who died seven years ago, aged just 37.
