Staff and students from the University of Northampton are being encouraged to pick up some extra festive sweet treats for people who rely on local food banks.
The Students’ Union and University and College Union are collecting donations of selection boxes, bags of sweets, boxes of chocolates, mince pies and Christmas puddings, which will be added to emergency food parcels provided to families in need.
Items can be dropped off at the donation points in Room H33 in the Holdenby building at Park Campus, and the Students’ Union at Park and Avenue campuses.
All items need to be dropped off by Monday 21 December to allow Santa enough time to deliver for Christmas.
