'Speaking with John [the charity's manager], he was saying how we're living in such a rich area and the numbers are so high, it's frightening... just one extra bag of shopping and you can feed a family of four for a week...

'What we spend on food a week is frighting compared to what these families are living off. Today made me think about how I'll do things differently.'

During her visit Sam met with the foodbank charity's manager John who gave her a tour of the building and introduced her to other volunteers.

He explained how last year they distributed 55 tonnes of food, but in just the first six months of 2020 have already handed out 60 tonnes.
