People in need are to benefit from a Housing Provider's food donations this month.

Employees at Flagship Group have been decorating charity boxes and filling them with food ready to be handed to local organisations.

Sixteen boxes will be delivered throughout December to charities including St Martin's Trust in Norwich, The Woodbridge Salvation Army, Newmarket Open Door, and the Norwich, Mid Norfolk and Thetford Foodbanks.

The boxes, which are full of non-perishable food items, will be given to people in time for Christmas, many of which would go hungry at this time of year.

St Martins Housing Trust will use the food as part of their annual Christmas meal for their service users and other members of the community.

Any surplus food will be given to people using their 'Under-1-Roof' resource centre which aims to provide them with skills they need to help compete for jobs.
