Southern Vectis Donates Food And Household Essentials To Pan Together Community Larder

A local charity, dedicated to helping people in East Newport access food and household goods, has received a boost — thanks to a donation from Southern Vectis. 

Pan Together has been chosen as one of the recipients of Southern Vectis’ Community Fund.

The scheme sees up to £500 biannually donated to organisations improving the quality of life for people living on the Isle of Wight.

Pan Together community centre manager, Rachel Thomson, said:

“Our community larder exists because we believe nobody should have to choose between food, fuel and children’s clothes.

“This delivery of 330 household essentials will make a tangible difference to the lives of 30 to 40 local families.

"I would like to say a huge thank you to Southern Vectis for its generosity.”

Simon Moye, Southern Vectis operations manager, added:

“Our Community Fund is designed to support those living across the Isle of Wight.

"We feel it is important we build strong relationships with local organisations, groups, schools and charities — and this latest donation is part of that. 

“Pan Together is a vital local resource, and we’re pleased to be able to help stock its community larder.”

Southern Vectis’ Community Fund donates funding and support during May and November.
