This winter, Swire Energy Services and premier workspace provider neospace are joining forces to combat food poverty in the Northeast by supporting CFINE (Community Food Initiatives North East). From 18 November to 13 December, the two organisations are calling on the Aberdeen community to contribute to a vital food bank initiative aimed at helping vulnerable families and individuals.
CFINE is a local charity dedicated to alleviating food insecurity, a pressing issue that affects over a million people across Scotland, including 240,000 children. With countless families struggling to meet basic needs, this initiative seeks to make a tangible difference during the challenging winter months.
