Operational Excellence Lend a Hand
Joining Laurence was Stephen Sheller, Adam Leverett, Jeremy Kervella, Henri Belledent, Al Laverty and Norma Le Bris Giron.
Together the team spent the morning sorting all the Food Bank donations into food parcels – each one containing a minimum of three days of nutritionally balanced, non-perishable, tinned and dried food. The team learnt a lot about the work the food banks do to support communities both locally and internationally, such as supporting Ukraine.
The Coventry Food Bank is part of a nationwide network of foodbanks, supported by The Trussell Trust, working to combat poverty and hunger across the UK. Further Lend a Hand opportunities for colleagues based at Binley are now being planned.
The team reported back that the Food Bank were desperately short of certain items and so a donation box is being set up in the Binley office in reception, for people to donate the following items:
- Tinned meat
- Soup
- Instant mash potato
- Tinned fruit
- Fruit juice
- Rice pudding
- Tinned tomatoes
- Cooking sauce
- Biscuits
- UHT Long-Life milk
