ThoughtShift Reverse Advent Calendar 2018

Posted 27-11-2018 by Heather

We are thrilled to announce ThoughtShift will be running its Reverse Advent Calendar for its third consecutive year. We feel it’s so important to continue to support Whitehawk food bank who do such amazing work in the local community. They provide a lifeline to people in crisis all year long. Food poverty is getting worse and foodbanks are being relied upon for longer and longer periods. According to the food banks and emergency food network report in 2017 16 foodbanks in Brighton and surrounding areas gave out approx. 315 food parcels per week.
