This isn't a photo of my weekly shop, it's a photo of generosity and support.

The book club I run has a monthly collection for a food bank, Emmeline's Pantry, and thanks to the generosity of all the members, I was able to take 13 large jars of coffee, 3 bags of sugar, 26 tins of tomatoes and 38 tins of baked beans in June.

Supporting a food bank is a very direct way to help someone who might be struggling and it's so easy to stick an extra tin in your basket whilst you're shopping. Most supermarkets even have collection points in store so you don't have to go out of you way to deliver it!
