 RADIO WOKING BREAKFAST 
WEDNESDAY 1ST AUGUST 2018
Today on the show I wanted to highlight the work of the Foodbank in Woking, and also the Light House where the food bank is based.
It was amazing to see just what goes on in this building and the help and support that is there for people in teir hour of need. It's not just about food its about dignity and being there at what could be the lowest point in somebody's life.
 
In the first part i speak to  Alison who is the manager, as well as  some of the volunteers who help run things so smoothly.

The second part of my visit to the Light House in Woking.  I spoke to more of the team who run things at the food bank and the Light House. I was also able to talk to Michael who is a user of the food bank after falling on hard times. His story is a tale of bravery and courage and shows there is light at the end of the tunnel when you are facing your darkest hour.
