This fantastic event was supported by Rykneld Homes, Marsh Lane Tenants and Residents Group and community volunteers.
Breakfast Bags
In Renishaw and Marsh Lane we gave out free Breakfast Hampers during the school summer holidays.
The hampers supported some of the most vulnerable families to provide food for their children, who would receive a free school meal.
