Town Ranger Update
As many of you are aware, our Town Ranger was admitted to hospital in October.
He has recently returned home to continue his recovery with the support of his family.
Though the Town Ranger is still in recovery, he is still in good spirits.
He would like to extend a heartfelt thanks to everyone for their thoughtful messages, cards and support.

How to get help
If you are on UC please go to your online journal and message your work coach, alternatively you can go into your local jobcentre between 10:00-14:00 and they can refer you if appropriate.
This is because at the Foodbank we normally work on a voucher referral basis.
Vouchers are issued by any frontline agency who is helping to resolve your problems.
However, if you are a new customer you can get immediate help from one of our centres by calling in there without a voucher.
(We usually only do this to give you time to arrange professional help.)
Holsworthy Foodbank is open on Wednesday Afternoons in the Manor Suite at the back of the Memorial Hall.
Please come between 2pm and 4pm.
Our friendly volunteers will ensure you have good food for the family.
You may also be able to get help from Citizens Advice on (Freephone) 0808 2082138
