A SCOUT group has made a donation to a foodbank. 

The beavers, cubs, and scouts of the Bailiff Bridge Scout Group made the donations on September 23.

The donation was made to the Brighouse Central Foodbank.

Rachel Owens, foodbank manager, said: "It was a delight to attend Bailiff Bridge Community Centre this week and to have the opportunity to talk to the Beavers about the work that we do at Brighouse Central Foodbank.

"We are so grateful for the amazing food donations from Bailiff Bridge Scout Group and we thank all the beavers, cubs, scouts, and their families for their generosity.

"As the weather gets colder, the food we are able to provide to individuals and families becomes even more important, and the boost to our Foodbank from these donations is vital and very much appreciated.”

Stephen Naylor, chair of Bailiff Bridge Scout Group, added: "Our beavers, cubs, and scouts are always proud to support the community we are part of, and it was really important for our young people to hear from Rachel about the work of the Brighouse Central Foodbank and how their donations will make a huge difference."
