One of our shopping trips for foodbank supplies was more productive thanks to a very generous gesture from the checkout operator!

Many students who may have struggled to get to the shops have brought in cash donations to support Liverpool's foodbanks this Christmas, and staff have been doing some shopping to convert this into food supplies in accordance with the specific needs published by the food banks.

On one such shopping trip, Miss Gore visited a branch of Aldi on East Prescot Road, where the goods in the order were totalled by Clare, a checkout operator in the shop. Clare was so inspired by the generosity of our students that she was moved to augment our collection by donating her £35 company voucher - a reward from her employers for her hard work - to the foodbank.

We'll be sending a letter of thanks to Clare from all of us for her generous gesture - and we wish her and the team at Aldi Prescot Road a very Merry Christmas!
