A lot of speculation over the past two weeks, hot news on social media, however not all is as reported on SM. At last nights Focus Group meeting we were given the latest ‘true’ update. The Whittlesey Food Bank will continue to run from The Christian Church on Broad Street for the next few weeks/months until alternative arrangements can be found.

The Charity is well funded and run and will hopefully continue so.
Whittlesey Town Councillors are involved and am sure will help in every way possible.
Below the publicity article after the formation of the group.

The new number to call if help is needed is 07594 294971

Highlight of this evenings meeting being that The Phoenix Youth Provision Group, is well up and running. They have received some welcome finances from Cambs CC and local companies. Initially running from The||Scalgate Centre|| for the benifit of young people in our area. Find out more @PhoenixYouthProvision (facebook).
Also this evening we learnt that Sally Louth – Food Project Co-ordinator for 20/twenty productions based in March will be distributing some 500 Christmas Hampers within the Fenland area.

There is a good chance that work will begin in the near future to make safe the ‘Ottermans’ Take-Away building, when made safe, all the road barriers/furniture can be removed.
