Paperclip, the Dronfield-based provider of telephone answering services to businesses across the UK, has launched its campaign to collect as many tins of tuna, processed meats andother foods for Chesterfield Foodbank.

Anne Batty is Paperclip’s Managing Director:

‘I met Roisin from Chesterfield Foodbank at a business networking event and was blown away by the work the Foodbank is doing for disadvantaged families at this difficult time.  With food inflation and, in particular, the huge increase in energy costs, every family is currently feeling the squeeze. 

During March, the Paperclip team will be striving to collect as many tins of tuna and processed meats aspossible for Chesterfield Foodbank. We have set up a donation hotline – 01246 388377 – for anyone wishing to donate tinned food. People can drop tins in at Paperclip’s Dronfield office (First Floor, Unit 3, Dronfield Court, Wards Yard, Dronfield S18 1QJ) or we can come and collect.

We have also set up a Just Giving page for those who may find it easier to donate monies for Chesterfield Foodbank to purchase tins of food.’

Roisin Williams–O’Gorman leads Chesterfield Foodbank’s activities:

‘Chesterfield Foodbank is staffed by a tremendous team of volunteers. We don’t think anyone in our community should have to face going hungry.

Our objective is to provide nutritionally balanced emergency food and support to local people who are referred to us. Tinned tuna, processed meats and other foods are a huge help to us because they are nutritious and easy to store.

The Paperclip ‘Tins and Telephones’ campaign is a really great idea. I’d like to thank Anne and her colleagues for their support.’
