The group was delighted to receive a donation which will help them to replace their ‘ancient’ 25-year-old mess tent and marquees.

The Portchester Community Association will also benefit, using their donation to 
support training for local families.

The money gifted will help to improve people’s knowledge of nutrition, budgeting, meal-planning, cooking and eating.
