At Prospect the Union’s Conference in Glasgow this year, delegates were encouraged to visit the TU Fund Managers stand during the week and make a donation in support of the local Glasgow South West Food Bank part of the Trussell Trust.
TU Fund Managers had already pledged £4,000 via its charity, the TUUT Charitable Trust and so, when the Reverend David Barr attended Conference on the final day, a total of over £4,500 was presented to him on behalf of the Food Bank.
Responding, David said “this donation will go a long way in helping the hundreds of people in Glasgow who would otherwise go hungry. There are lots of reasons why people can find themselves without the means to buy food. No one should starve or have to suffer the stress of going without food. Once again, thank you for demonstrating your compassion for our fellow human beings.”
