Charity helps feed borough's most vulnerable residents

Individuals and families who have been referred to Compassion in Action (CIA) will receive the equivalent of a full week’s shop delivered direct to their door.

Each hamper contains fresh produce, fruit, vegetables, cooked meat and dairy, as well as toiletries and other household essentials – including cleaning products, washing powder and toilet rolls.

“I would like to offer our heartfelt thanks to the local community, our valued partners, Wigan Council, Leigh councillors and loyal businesses,” said Pam Gilligan, chief executive officer of CIA.

‘It is a true demonstration of ‘Unity in the Community’ and, together, we are making a difference – ensuring that no-one in Leigh goes hungry or feels forgotten during the UK lockdown.”

CIA’s delivery team are operating in line with Government health and safety guidelines, which includes wearing appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).
