A VOLUNTEER led delivery service is searching for new drivers as demand rises.

Eastleigh Basics Bank is set-up by local churches to support those who are experiencing financial difficulty and need short term support through the provision of food.

The Banks says service has risen by 300% with the Covid-19 pandemic, and is now set to rise even further in the run up to Christmas.

It is now searching for volunteer drivers on a short term basis to help it get through the busy Christmas period.

Volunteer drivers collect food parcels for a given area and deliver them to people in need.
