The Vale Pantry, a ‘social supermarket’ in Sturminster Newton, has received a helping hand from Heather Fullarton and friends

Heather was among those who attended a welcome service at Salisbury Cathedral in May for the new bishop and was given a gold envelope containing £10 – provided by anonymous donors – and asked to follow the parable of the Good Samaritan and put it to good use.
Heather donated and invited church members from Hinton, Lydlinch and Sturminster Newton to contribute their
small change.
She is pictured presenting a cheque for £220 to Carole Jones from The Vale Pantry, which provides food, resources and services to individuals and families facing food insecurity.
