Just read on the Rovers supporters website that this initiative today has raised £16000 for the North Bristol food bank, well done gasheads. I'd like to say thank you Gas-Heads and extended, as I have been the beneficiary of several food bank parcels after losing a whole summer of work. And I'd like to put on record the difference it makes. When you've been eating bread and cereal and have a delivery like pasta and sauce, to actually taste something in such a long time, hoensty, I have no shame in saying it brings a tear to your eye. At least, it did mine. Many a tale on that front that I'll save for the Health Chat thread, but again Thank you Gas-Heads. You've got a man through very hard times 🙏

You've got a man through very hard times 🙏 Hope things work out for you, it could be any one of us at any time. Please do come over to Health Chat if you feel the need, it does help. Many thanks Stuart 💜 and the forum! I'm in a much better place now, on my way to even better, and once this chapter has been written I'll be in a better place to recite it back! I'm in a place where I'm buying extra on my food shop and returning the favour back to the foodparcel recepticles at the supermarket now 😎 and that's the kind of hope that means the most to me, getting past that, and knowing that a bit of food and understanding can get people through a few hard weeks, and how much of a springboard a small helping hand turns into a large leg up! 🙏💜

Reading this thread has really made me well up. 😢 I don't get paid until Wednesday and my money is tight but I will be setting up a small monthly donation from then. If you haven't done so already, please take a moment to sign Marcus Rashford's petition asap. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/554276

I think if you move it to general chat then most people won’t see it as they dont really go in general chat. Can’t you keep it where most will see it and we’ll try and promise to not get political. Myself and one other did post a political post but we both apologised.

Kept my promise, it's payday for me today and I've set up a small regular monthly payment.
If you have any spare money no matter how small please think about donating. It doesn't have to be monthly even a small one-off payment will be a huge help.
Not only is 'sharing is caring' but 'caring is sharing'.
