Ursula and Daphne said: “Banc Bwyd Pwllheli is hugely grateful to Asda for the amazing donation.

"This money will enable us to purchase some new equipment, particulary collapsible boxes for the pre-made food parcels.”

They added: “The on-going costs of delivering this service are huge. We cover a large area from Porthmadog to just beyond Trefor, to Garndolbenmaen and the whole of the Llyn Peninsula. We are there to support anyone who finds themselves in food poverty”
