Carlton Foodbank puts out an appeal for soup donations

Carlton Foodbank is appealing for help from residents.

The service, which is based at Carlton Methodist Church on Carlton Hill is appealing for tinned and cup-a-soup donations.

A spokesman said: “We’ve pretty much run out of tinned soup and cup a soups.

“We know it’s hot and sticky out there but we still include a couple of tins and a few sachets of instant soup in every parcel we give out as they are easy to prepare.

“If you’re able to donate any vegetable, vegan or meaty soup, even if it’s just one tin, we’d be really grateful.”

You can drop off your donations at any or the following donation points:

• Tesco in Carlton Square or on Carlton Hill
• Co-op on Westdale Lane
• Carlton Pharmacy on Carlton Hill
• YMCA Charity Shop on Carlton Hill
• Mapperley branch of Nottingham Building Society
• Gedling Play Forum, Wollaton Avenue, Gedling
• Directly to the food bank at 86 Carlton Hill (on the corner of Cromwell Street)

The foodbank is open every Tuesday& Friday between 11am and 2.30pm and Wednesday’s 3-5pm.
