The people of East Grinstead, you have been magnificent!
Thanks also go to the following supermarkets
Sainsburys – East Grinstead – We have always had great support from this store
Waitrose & Partners – East Grinstead – Again, We have always had great support from this store
Morrisons – Oxted – for their weekly donations of food and household cleaning, see below
B&M Store Crawley – for their generous cash donation, and the manager Joe, opened early for us to shop!
Tesco Stores have delivered to us weekly various items similar to Morrisons, just not quite so much, using British Gas Drivers
Thanks also to all the kind people who have donated their government food parcels to us at the Foodbank.
We have been inundated with hundreds of them. Many of you have told us you never wanted them so please find below how to cancel them and save waste. If you have anymore please feel free to donate to a neighbour or friend in need.
If you want to cancel, do one of the following:
-
refuse the parcel when it is delivered, this will then cancel it and remove you from the government distribution list
-
go to GOV.UK where you registered as shielded, go to the question ‘Do you have a way of getting essential supplies delivered at the moment?’. You previously answered no to this question, please now reply as yes. You will then be removed from the government distribution list
-
call 0800 028 8327 and make sure you have your NHS number (this will be on the top of your NHS letter). This is an automated phoneline and you will need to follow the instructions. You will be asked the question ‘Do you have a way of getting essential supplies delivered at the moment?’. You previously answered no to this question, please now reply as yes. You will then be removed from the government distribution list
