SIR – We read with interest the comments made by Colin Whitehead, manager of Worcester Foodbank, concerning the additional demands being placed on the foodbank’s services by struggling parents during the school holidays (Worcester News, August 20).
We also noted the remarks made by a spokesman for Worcestershire County Council about underlying issues such as long-standing debts.
May we, through your pages, say that we at Worcester CAP offer a free debt-counselling service to anyone in the city struggling with debt? We work in close partnership with Worcester Foodbank. For more details, call 0800 3280006.
