A CREDITON shop and local volunteers have been thanked for helping a charity which helps homeless and unemployed young people in Devon.

Volunteers from the Rotary Club of Crediton Boniface have weekly, since the pandemic began, collected food items donated by the Crediton High Street Co-op store and delivered these to The Amber Centre at Ashley Court, Chawleigh.

In addition, the Rotary Club has been sourcing and donating various items to support residents and made a cash donation towards some gym equipment at the Centre.

The Amber Centre at Chawleigh has been grateful for the donations and assistance and Rebecca Fry, The Amber Foundation Fundraising Manager, said: “I’d like to say a huge thank-you to the Co-op and the members of the Crediton Boniface Rotary for their continued support of Amber despite the challenges of lockdown. The generosity and support shown is hugely appreciated and has really helped the young people through the last few months.”
