PCN team distributes Christmas food hampers

Lucy Richardson said: ‘I work with St Neots Food Bank closely in my role as a social prescriber. They contacted me last month with the offer of Christmas Food Hampers for local households in need. I shared this offer with the Personalised Care team, and together we identified individuals and families who would benefit from this support. This included patients who had received a food bank voucher in the last three months or were facing financial difficulties. We collected the hampers from the Food Bank warehouse and arranged collection and deliveries with the patients. The hampers were packed in Christmas bags and included standard store cupboard essentials alongside Christmas treats. This collaboration reflects what we can do when we come together as a community, and how we can tackle challenges like the rising cost of living.'
