The whole event will be live streamed on Skinner & T’witch’s Facebook page (via www.facebook.com/SkinnerTwitch) and, if you can’t get along, you’ll have the opportunity to donate online via: https://mydonate.bt.com/fundraisers/skinnerandtwit...

All donations gratefully received. Suggested donation £5>. All donations go to Leeds’ Foodbanks.

If you’re coming along to The Grove Inn in Leeds, please feel free to bring non-perishable foodstuffs, toiletries (soap, toothpaste, toothbrushes, deodorants etc.), sanitary products etc., which will be collected by volunteers on the day. Items particularly needed at the moment include: tinned tomatoes, cooking sauces, tinned rice pudding, tinned custard, tinned fish, coffee, UHT milk and cordial.

Together we can smash last year’s £648 sum raised! We aim to double it.’
