Local Labour Party members have launched a campaign to help raise money for local foodbanks.

'Move for Food' has been launched by Warwick & Leamington Labour Party in support of the Trussell Trust which runs the local Warwick District Foodbanks.

Those who sign up for the campaign will raise funds through sponsorship as they commit to 30 minutes of activity every day and participate in a range of organised activities across the region.

There will be a variety of 'Move for Food' events including walks, litter picking and cycling, and the campaign got underway with a litter pick and walk at Sydenham shops on September 11. 

Ali Lush, Move for Food organiser said: "We shouldn't have to rely on our foodbanks, but sadly right now many people have nowhere else to turn. We wanted to do something practical and helping our local foodbanks seemed like the obvious place to start. 

"We hope people will sign up and aside from knowing they are going to help their neighbours; they will also be improving their own health by getting a bit more active."

All events will be posted on the Move for Food Facebook page and those taking part can join the Facebook group, to update others on their activities
