We are delighted to be supporting @Ely_Foodbank again this #Easter! 🥰 #Easteregg collection points were held at King’s Ely Acremont Nursery and Pre-Prep and King’s Ely Junior, resulting in more than 400 eggs and edible #treats being donated in the run up to the end of term! 👏
How to say goodbye with class and dignity. The amazing @JanineMachin signing off for one last time. So sad to see the BBC to end this brilliant news service, made by @lisarnfk's wonderful and talented team. Their work will be hugely missed. x.com/tellytvbox/sta…
We donated a terrific haul of food items and festive goodies to @Ely_Foodbank this morning! 🤩 The donations are the result of our 'Festive Foodbank Collection' at King's Ely Acremont Nursery and Pre-Prep. More on our Facebook: bit.ly/3Nequeh #helpingothers #kindness
Tickets are going fast for our forthcoming Charity Concert on Friday 18th November! This year we are pleased to be supporting the Ely Old Dispensary and @Ely_Foodbank with a concert celebrating music from across Europe! 🎵To book tickets please visit: kingsely.org/boxoffice
Well done Seacole House! @Ely_Foodbank is Seacole's House charity so there'll be many more donations like this; but for now HUGE well done to Y10 Natalie Geraty who spearheaded this collection, marking that elusive last check on her #PLEDGES record & earning her a GOLD award!
Huge thanks to @elycollege’s Seacole House 🙏 This impressive donation was delivered to our warehouse by their teacher 🤗 One of the students arranged the collection for their PLEDGES learning and development programme👍 What a great idea 💡 and a super achievement 🙌
Supporting the local community is important to us, so we held a collection at our office last month for @Ely_Foodbank.💜 #TeamCC donated essential items which will provide emergency food to people in crisis. Find out more about Ely Foodbank's work: ow.ly/y1pM50LsYJp!

@jowlymonster BUT you did get a new fish with an awesome name!!
In the past 2 weeks: My dad died One of our cats needs a risky operation Our landlord has decided he wants the house back so we have 2 months to find somewhere to live. How's 2022 for you?
@DuckworthMark62 @johnelworthy As D Cllrs we just sought to reflect what Springfield made clear they wanted and will benefit from in the years to come (according to the company sales brochure, paid consultants, and a politicians' desire to deliver a "grand project").
@johnelworthy I use the station regularly. Every train I’ve been on has exchanged >10 passengers. Car park isn’t used much. Prob due to location making it walkable for most of Soham. It’s hugely valuable to Soham and to a more sustainable future. Fares+timings need improving for wider adoption
Soham rail station car park today - demand at this £22m legacy project of former mayor J Palmer clearly not outstripping supply
Please help your local #foodbank if you can 💚
We are low on lots of items at the moment and really need your help! Here are the drop points: if you have bought the items elsewhere, please bag them and write 'private' on it Coffee, jam, long-life fruit juice, long-life milk, squash, tinned custard, rice pudding, tinned fruit
Ely in @EastCambs, norther of Cambridge - their foodbank covers a wide area from the villages just outside Cambridge up to March in Fenland.
If you would like to donate non-perishable food items, you can use the following supermarket drop-off points. If you are donating food you didn't buy from that store, please pop it in a bag and write 'private donation' on it first.
