Meet Sylvia – Warehouse Manager

Volunteer since 2013!  Retired Physiotherapist

Long term volunteer started with the foodbank in 2013 as a representative of St Nicholas Church. I hadn’t realised the serious need for a foodbank locally – but Roger Collins had, and our client numbers steadily increased. Storage needs and warehouse sizes kept growing, and I have steadily got more involved in the management of them. When the pandemic hit, I was handed the warehouse and off-site store keys, and the associated learning curve resembled an upright ladder!

I am still here, it still needs a manager and it still feels the right thing to be doing for all those in need for emergency food.
