Local Fraser Budgens supports Cherwell Collective
Victoria RussellThis Thursday we had the pleasure of being joined by Jonathan Fraser, director of Fraser’s Budgens, at WISH in Kidlington.
Jonathan and his colleague Sophie, Popped into wish to support the great work that we do within the community.
Whilst here they learnt about our Climatarian Kitchen, Harvest @ Home, Oxford Party Library, Cherwell Larder and WISH Project.
As regular supporters of Cherwell Collective, they were impressed by the work that we do to help redistribute surplus food within the community and have pledged their continued support.
Whilst visiting they got to see where the food that they regularly donate is distributed and helped our team of volunteers set up for our Thursday morning larder.
It’s at this point we’d like to take the opportunity to thank Jonathan and the Frasers Budgen’s team for their continued efforts in supporting the local community.
