THE BASICS BANK BEATS THE FREEZE

Despite snow, ice and freezing temperatures John, Pam and the rest of the Basics Bank team carry on making up emergency food parcels from the stock on the shelves, all donated in kind or in cash by the people of Lymington and the local area. Instant redundancy does not produce instant DSS payments, so enough food has to be delivered to unlucky families to fill the space between. The new Basics Bank cabin, at the rear of the United Reformed Church, is certainly smarter than the cold old room at the back of our car park which they used last year, but today it doesn't feel much warmer!
