Local Food Store Bakes Mince Pies For Mountbatten Service

The first batch of mince pies are underway at the Co-operative Food store in Ryde, ready to be donated to Mountbatten Hospice’s Light Up A Life service.

The store is providing a total of 400 mince pies for the service this Sunday (4), which helps Islanders come together to remember the lives of loved ones at Christmas.

It is just one of many donations taking place across Southern Co-op's retail and funeralcare branches this winter, helping schools, community groups and voluntary associations.
