Speaking about the appointment of the charity as the club’s second charity partner, Commercial Director, Tom Gorringe said, “Last season, we were delighted to work with our supporters on the “Gasheads Against Food Poverty” initiative and saw first-hand the positive impact that it had on those in need within our local community.

“We are committed to doing all we can to ensure our partnership supports the charity – whether that means raising awareness of campaigns and events or to offer more hands on practical help.

“North Bristol Foodbank offer a beacon hope to those who are forced to use such means when times get tough.

It is not acceptable in these days but we want show compassion and offer hope that things can change. We are grateful the opportunity of this partnership to raise the profile of the foodbank and offer people ways to support others in their community. Let’s do this together!”
