Christmas is, for many, a time of joy and celebration. But for others, it can be filled with anxiety about how to meet additional costs.

This December, Taurus Healthcare staff responded fantastically to an appeal from the Hereford Food Bank for items to include in Christmas hampers for 100 families who are facing hardship this winter.

Kirsty Morris, Covid Vaccination Site Manager at Taurus (who organised the collection said):

"We didn't have long to collect the items and I wasn't sure what the response would be. But I needn't have worried. Taurus staff were incredibly generous and the Food Bank is totally overwhelmed and incredibly grateful for the number of items donated.

"My heartfelt thanks to everyone who gave - it will make such a difference to so many Herefordshire families this Christmas.”
