We know times are tough for many people, but it's important not to skip meals. If you need help to access food, find your nearest foodbank here: Food Banks and Affordable Food Projects in Dorset (helpandkindness.co.uk) Foodbanks are an essential resource for many so, if you can spare something for others, you can donate at most supermarkets or contact a food bank directly and see what they need.
