Happy New Year everyone, here’s to 2020! 💙 due to the restrictive word counts, we’ll have to do our thanks in separate tweets (or read in full here : facebook.com/22300115639243…)

To our volunteers, whether you’ve given us an hour or an entire year, we couldn’t do any of this without you, you are priceless and incredible people, thank you.

To our partner stores, and stores who’ve offered ad hoc and one off donations - without you, there would be no food to go around. What may seem like a small gesture changes lives, thank you.

To those who have donated, without you we couldn’t achieve so much - we are a small organisation punching way above our weight, and that’s because of you.

To our recipients, thank you for trusting us with your dignity and pride, it is an absolute honour and we hope that your situations improve - we are always here for you. Strangers have become friends, it is truly a privilege to help in your hour of need.

To our friends, partners, colleagues, advocates, supporters, cheerleaders, families and neighbours - thanks for understanding and putting up with the chaos!

To my fellow Directors, who would have thought that a group of friends could achieve so much from a dream? For every headache and tantrum, there are people out there who are supporting us, and people who are depending on us. I love you all and we will change the world one day...

...I’m not sure when or how, but standing arm in arm we are invincible, and will fight with every breath we have to make a real difference. Thank you for everything! #giventoshine
