MP Caroline Dinenage is looking for people to join a new initiative set up by the Fareham and Gosport Basics Bank.

For the second year, the bank is running a “reverse advent” where those taking part add a food bank item to a box and then donate the contents at the end.

Caroline said: “The work that Gosport and Fareham Basics Bank does is fantastic in supporting people in need across our area.

“I can’t think of a better way to capture the true spirit of Christmas. The bank is always grateful for donations no matter how big or small.”
