'I volunteer at the foodbank that helped me'

Lisa Parkinson, a volunteer at the Big Food Project in Blackpool, started helping after the service supported her through a tough time of cancer diagnosis and financial struggles during the pandemic. The project distributes surplus food to various recipients in the area. Parkinson, now cancer-free, emphasizes the importance of giving back and helping those experiencing food insecurity, highlighting the impact and value of the foodbank in the community.
