With many families struggling through the cost of living crisis, the team at the Midhurst Pharmacy came up with the idea to hold a ‘foodbank drive’ next month.
Owner Raj Rohilla said with the summer holidays coming to an end, many parents have had the added pressures after taking off time from work and missing out on free school meals.

Chichester District Foodbank is currently appealing for the following items:
- Tinned vegetables
- Shaving gel and razors
- Treats e.g. muesli bars, Kit Kats etc.
- Nappies sizes 5 and 7
- UHT milk (dairy and non-dairy options)
