This week we were visited by Ali Monjack of That's Thames Valley TV. Broadcasting on Freeview channel 7, That’s Thames Valley TV is the home of local news and classic television for the region. A great piece that demonstrates the work of the Newbury Soup Kitchen and how the service is appreciated.

One of our volunteers was concerned this week about a particular client who was so lonely and upset. The volunteer commented a wonderful thing. "Do you read? If you do, then you always have a friend". So true. We do give out books and they seem very popular. We would love some books to keep our small library going.

There was another new lad too. He is in his twenties all alone. He had a good meal. We gave him a tent, sleeping bag, flask and various other amenities. He was shocked at how kind we were. We will get to know him and hopefully start to work with him and try to help him over the next few weeks.
