To win the overall award at the Charity Awards is an absolute honour. It was terrific to be able to share the news with our network of foodbanks, which provide the support on the ground to people in need – so it’s very much their award.

There is no doubt the boost to our profile is helping us to attract new donors and partners to help us deliver services. And as a result, we will be feeling the benefit of the award for years to come – and so will the people who need our support.
