The food plays a key role in helping charities feed people and, in doing so, allowing the money saved to be invested in social services in communities across the whole of the UK.

The Hastings Lacuna Place Express store was the pick of the county, having contributed 6,065 meals to the collection.

Store manager, Damien Green, said: “We’re so proud to support charities and community groups through Community Food Connection from our larger stores.”
