20 December - It’s Good News Week
It
may have been announced a little late in the day but Councillor
Nicola Taylor’s
idea to add pantomime tickets to a few lucky food bank clients has shown
that the streets of London can occasionally be paved with gold.
Despite the limited advertising there was enough money donated to provide 18
families with free tickets and vouchers for sweets and ice-cream. I only
recognised one name on the donor list, a Conservative Councillor.
Maybe, especially if the giving process is simplified, it will be an even bigger
success next year, assuming of course that lock downs for bad colds are not the norm by then
and the entire population is queued at a food bank.
