HULL: Royal Mail Group has donated £15,000 to a charity to help combat food poverty in Hull.

The company has made the donation to FareShare, which has a depot in the city and supplies food to 62 local charities.

The funding will support the charity's work in transporting surplus food to charities aiding vulnerable groups, including the homeless, the elderly, and children.

The donation will help FareShare transport 285 tonnes of food, enough for 680,000 meals nation- wide.

Lily Heinemann, of the Royal Mail Group, said: "We're really pleased to be helping FareShare and the charities it supports.

"We hope our donation will make a difference to commun- ities in Hull, so they can enjoy nutritious meals over the Christmas period."

Lindsay Boswell, FareShare CEO, said: "Thanks to Royal Mail's generous donation, we will be able to transport surplus food to hundreds of local charities."
