Sarah Adams, process manager at the foodbank, said: “We have seen a 60 per cent increase in demand for the foodbank since last year and we would not be able to provide help for those in need if it wasn’t for people giving up their time to help us make parcels for those in need.

“I would like to say a big thank you to Seaford College for their continued support.”

Students, parents and staff have been committed to donating food to Chichester District Foodbank throughout the pandemic and our aim is to continue this support in the future.

“Once restrictions are lifted, our students are looking forward to heading back to work at the foodbank, during our dedicated community support time.”
