    Story

    It's been an awful 9 months+ for the majority of people over the globe in so many ways. Mental health problems are on the rise at an alarming rate, Physical health has been battered and people are struggling financially. Just doing video blogs and posts take a huge chunk out of me, They drag up so many realisations of people who have promised the world yet vanished when things got messy yet again. It's horrible, As I write this I'm getting upset but the end has to justify the means, That is of course doing good thing to help other people. You get one life, Can you do more to help in any way at all? Life is so very short, You don't truly appreciate it until it's under threat. I was the same myself.

    With that being said the team & I wanted to do something to give back to the community and help a resource that has been absolutely drained due to the huge amount of people under financial restraint, out of work, having no support network and generally just needing a wee dig out. I'm talking of course about the food banks. As a family we've always donated to it and this year we found ourselves in need of it too. It's such a wonderful resource of help for anyone in need but they badly need our help. When able we should all do our part to help in whatever way possible.

    We will be running the Foodbank Drive until December 15th as to allow time for us delivering everything and gathering as much as humanly possible. Any money donated will go directly towards buying the urgent items in bulk to go straight to the East Lothian Foodbank. Of course it doesn't which foodbank we donate to as it is shared far & wide depending which area has the urgent need. We can pick up any donations of food, toiletries ect in East Lothian & Edinburgh ourselves, If you can drop it off then even better. If you could message the page (link below), myself or any of the team then we will send the closest drop off point or will arrange to pick up.

    I truly hope some businesses especially local will get involved by donating in some way or even help with a raffle prize to encourage donators. You will of course get the credit, a shout out and my undying love & attention! If you can help in that sense please contact me via my social media accounts.

    Do something positive to see out the year, No matter how big or small, it all goes to help people & families just like me or you by removing one less worry, No one should go hungry or be ashamed to ask for help. I'm asking you for help, no one else, me. Help me to help other human beings in need.

    Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, ‘What are you doing for others? (Martin Luther King Jr.)

    🍞 Drop Off/Pick Up : Just Giving (All goes towards final foodbank donation)

    Please help with this one if you can, folks, It's badly needed.

      I've decided not to raise the target amount any more. You guys have been brilliant. My expectations have been blown away countless times since starting the Xmas event. So many people coming together to help others in need. I truly can't thank you all enough. So with that being said, we'll leave the long broken target and just let the water flow. Much love to each & every one of you Johnnie x
