4,000 community gift cards worth £10 each to help families and individuals affected by the cost of living increases will be sent to foodbanks by Southern Co-op
The Dell recreation ground in Ryde recently underwent a rubbish clearance from staff from Southern Co-op, along with Cllr Ian Stephens and Helen Butler from The Isle of Wight Red Squirrel Trust
The hearse will be available at all of The Co-operative Funeralcare branches run by Southern Co-op and, the company say, "will enable families to say goodbye to their loved ones in a more environmentally responsible way"
The Isle of Wight foodbank has seen a rise in the number of people they've helped this year and Christmas will be no exception. Here's how you can help
Southern Co-op say they know this won't solve the crisis, but they really hope this fund will help reduce the strain faced by so many families across the Isle of Wight
