A GIANT cheque for £1,000 has been presented to a Newton Abbot food bank courtesy of the town’s Rotary club.

Members of Rotary Newton Abbot recently handed over the cheque to THAT Foodbank’s Jean Patterson, who is Co-Chair of the Buckland-based food bank.

The charity said: ‘We are very grateful for the support that we receive from Rotary throughout the year, but this is an extra special donation from one of their members.

‘Thank you for your continued support!’

A small, independent foodbank based in Buckland, THAT food bank deals with around 2000 referrals every year.

Founded in 1922, Rotary Newton Abbot has more than 100 members from a wide range of professions, businesses and organisations.
