CEO of St Paul's Centre, Jez Chalmers, told Nub News: "This donation from the Crewe Prize Draw will support our brand new campaign, "Not on our watch," launching imminently to support our food bank, helping to keep it running.

"The same crisis that is causing demand to peak is causing donations to drop.

"​Our charity relies heavily on local support and wants to invest more in it, shifting the food bank to be community-owned rather than run solely by St Paul's Centre.

"​To tackle this community-wide crisis, the food bank is asking for £2 a month donations with the tagline: "A community-wide crisis requires a community-wide response."

"​The campaign will feature videos, a new web page, advertisements on billboards and buses, and an evergreen background presence.

"​Moving the food bank to Wellington House has provided much more space to handle the increased need, though managing multi-site logistical and health and safety operations has presented new challenges."

The next Crewe Prize Draw takes place this Thursday evening (27 August), with another guaranteed £1,500 top prize up for grabs together with four £20 prizes.
