Fenland foodbanks close to callers due to rising infection rate of virus

The rising number of virus infections has forced the closure of the area's foodbanks to people calling in.

Announcing the decision in a Facebook post a spokesman said: "It is with a heavy heart that we are forced to announce the closure of all our distribution centres until at least the end of this month.

"We have stayed open through two lockdowns, but the current rising rates of infection mean we have to do the right thing to protect our volunteers and clients, and close our doors.
