Amazing aromas filled the Bistro recently as Knightstone Campus staff enjoyed a selection of soup, rolls and hot drinks in aid of Weston-super-Mare Food Bank.
In order to attend 'The Hunger Lunch' midday treat, staff bought tickets in advance costing just £1.50.
Whilst digging in, staff also had the chance to speak to union officers as well as representatives from our numerous green initiatives. This included information on our staff electric bike and North Somerset Travel, showing staff how they might be able to alter their journey into work and reduce their carbon footprints!
Overall, £70 was raised for the Weston Food Bank along with a whole box full of food items was donated in the process.
A massive thank-you to staff welfare officer, Gill, for arranging the successful session as well as to all those who attended and donated generously.
