Burnham-On-Sea Tesco store holding food collection today to support local families
Tesco is holding an extra food collection in its Burnham-On-Sea store this week to support children and families this summer.
The collection, supported by Burnham-On-Sea Lions Club, is taking place in the Ben Travers Way store from July 15th to 17th, with customers invited to donate long-life food to the Trussell Trust and FareShare to help them in their vital work to support families in need.
Tesco will once again be topping up all customer donations with a 20% cash donation to the two charities.
Jason Tarry, Tesco UK CEO, says: “The Trussell Trust and FareShare face extra demands during the summer, when children who would normally enjoy a healthy meal in school may miss out.”
Burnham Lions Club offers support to struggling local community groups
the pandemic.
“As we settle into 2021 we are aware that some of our local community groups have now gone for almost a year without being able to do any fundraising,” says a spokesman.
“Burnham-On-Sea Lions have for over 40 years worked in your local community raising money to assist you when you need us the most.”
“With the end of this pandemic still some time off, Burnham Lions Club is inviting local community groups to contact us and apply for assistance, whether it is with time, equipment or financial help.”
“Please contact either Claire via email claireandjodie10@aol.com, Phil via email philsuecooke@hotmail.com or Bob via email bob.jenner@talktalk.net.”
Burnham-On-Sea Lions Club buys laptop PCs to help children with home schooling
Community-spirited members of Burnham-On-Sea Lions Club have dipped into their funds to buy three laptop PCs and four tablets to help several local schoolchildren with their home learning during the ongoing Covid lockdown.
“Burnham and District Lions Club wanted to help our young and their education during this current crisis,” explains the club’s Doug Plume.
“We recognised that our local schools may benefit from having access to more portable IT equipment to share out to those students who may not be fortunate enough to have access to laptops or tablets to be able to do work set by their teachers.”
