Sainsburys Trolley Worth £1,000

The Sainsburys Superstore in Fareham have kindly had a trolley donation point in support of the Basics Bank for just 2 months. And yet in that short time it has already brought in over £1,000 worth of food and other items.

We are extremely grateful to Sainsburys and their customers for their support.

We have used over eight thousand carrier bags In the last year to provide the food and other items to our clients. We would be very pleased to receive your unwanted carriers bags.
