ONCE again people in and around Cinderford have shown their generosity to those less fortunate than themselves.

CANDI staff Nick Beddis and Stephanie James were at the Co-op Stores in Cinderford for their annual collection of food for local homeless young people and not only had their shopping trolley full to brimming with donations from the local community, but also received £33 in cash to buy extra food.

For the past five years, CANDI has collected each year for the homeless, and each year I am humbled by the generosity of local people. A massive thank-you to all who supported this much needed contribution. Thanks also to the Co-op Stores in Cinderford for allowing us to collect these donations. – Sue Fellows, CANDI co-ordinator.
