Staff, clients and friends of Mansfield care agency Respectful Care worked together over the Christmas and New Year period to collect food donations for people worried about becoming homeless.

Donations were presented to Framework’s Homelessness Prevention Service, Acorn Business Park.

Scott Marsh, managing director of Respectful Care, used the company’s social media sites to ask for donations.

He said “I wanted to raise awareness of homelessness and somehow make a difference, especially at this time of year.

“We reached out to our extended family across our social media for their help in food donations and the response was amazing.”
